Clown Coup
the
quick
motion
of mish mash
mob grey raging beards
red ball caps flags flap defiance
zip ties and kevlar vests explode at the mad king's pose
in decline and fall a houseless hero flees behind white walls to television truth
leaving his smear of thugs and thespians blotch the myth
our leaders and traditions be
eternally sound
solid and
verbose
but
dull
