JIM COHN

 

 

The President Had Already Been Lynched

 

The President had already been lynched

In a few million minds.

 

Nobody knew if the country would

Self-destruct in wasted splendor.

 

It’s all boiling down to

Certain spots in a courtyard

 

Where on winter days

The sun would shine.
