Desert Dweller

Dear Mr. Trump,
Please accept this
Piece-Ah Pizza prize.

It’s messy and,
by the time it gets there,
a few days old,
but that’s OK
you won’t be eating it.

You’ll be patting yourself on the back
admiring it, proudly displayed
on the mantle over the fireplace
between the Venezuelan
and FIFA concession prizes.

I’ve also included a coupon
for a special limited edition prize
made in China especially for you.
It’s beautiful, really beautiful.

Made of nice plastic,
and adorned in golden glitter
that will look perfect, just perfect
in your new lavish ballroom.

Your loved ones can redeem it
after you’ve left the stage
and unveil the shiny, urn-shaped trophy
at your gravesite.

A Rest-in-Peace prize you can
truly be proud of because
it will be the only one you earned.
