Sundays Whirligig

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Boy Breaking Glass" by Gwendolyn Brooks:

 broken, create, pepper, plank, revenge, music, longer, mistake, cliff, loneliness, everything, snare





everything about him is repellent
he looks and behaves like a mistake
thick as a plank



in global solidarity women have marched in protest
against him today
revenging themselves on his pussy grabbing boasts
and misogynistic comments peppered with contempt




his insulting words create clanging cymbals
music of a broken snare drum rolling over a cliff

he will never overcome the loneliness
of missing the tasteless  trump towers
even by solid gold plating the white house
turning it into a casino and  groping the housemaids
( all will be newly acquired super models )



no longer is the world a safe  place

    1. Why?

      Possibly because you are a man who respects women and worry about the future of your granddaughtersl

      Possibly because of his obscene greed and intent on destroying the environment by restoring coal fired energy.

      Possibly because it is because it is a very sick joke that should never have happened.

  3. He is indeed thick as a plank - the scary thing is he thinks he's smart

  4. Timely and terrifying... And with the amount of humor we need to remind ourselves of the horror that is that man without having to scream in frustration.

  5. I really like that image of a broken snare drum rolling off a cliff.

  6. You are right. It never should have happened. And I cant understand why it is allowed to continue. That image is horrifying - and the fear is very real.
