I just blogged about a webzine that is posting erasure poems created by removing words from Trump’s inaugural speech.
Here’s mine.
PREPARE
citizens
transferring power
to rulers
the likes of which the world
has never seen
American men and women
trapped in tombstones across the landscape
flush with carnage
our country
disappeared
with only a decree
of winning
like never before
we will
eradicate
from the face of the Earth
our total allegiance
to patriotism
prejudice is unstoppable
There is no God
it cannot fail
national pride
will lift our divisions
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
And, Yes,
Again.
