I try to watch the Drumpfstream from the Cleveland stop
seeing it all in a strange blur as through large drops of rain
the stream is one long surreal interruption of itself
attention is dominated by what we are not being shown
unseen disturbances "offstage""in the wings"
everyone on the screen appears on the brink of going
totally short twitch insane in one second
a toxic odor as of burnt plastic seems to be coming out of the screen
the orange guy's eyes and mouth become very small and round
as they always do when he's angry and saying the same thing over and over
but nobody on the screen seems to be actually listening to him
it's like an advertisement for attention deficit disorder
everybody tuning out, then back in, then out, then in,
glancing up and down

anxiously, waiting for the real action to happen
mouthbreathing, maybe thinking the quick vacant thoughts of the undead,
and behind the orange guy there's this buffed dude in
a blue drumpf t-shirt who seems to be especially afflicted with saint
vitas' dance, he's twitching so bad it almost makes the screen
twitch along with him, and it's hard not to feel
we're waiting too, so very impatiently,
expectantly, menacingly, mercilessly, for the real action to begin

I am the man on the left, and she openly Hailed Hitler. And held the stance gladly.

I was inviting her to walk out down the path we cleared for her. Scouts honor.

I asked her to leave down the path we cleared for her, this was her response.

I was astounded. Still tried to get her to leave, for her own safety at that point.

Right now I am some symbol, but all credit goes to my great city, Chicago. I did one thing, but WE did THIS thing... #TrumpRallyChi
