when
she
stares
at
you,
a deep void can be found
with just a bit of focus on your part---
you can see directly inside her eyes and back
further,
there are shiny steel drums
facing each other
with nothing but complete emptiness in between,
or perhaps
a couple of big neon lights billowing brightly,
as if your head was tipped back
in a dentist’s chair,
strapped in & terrified
like alex in A Clockwork Orange.

rather than winking, like
ms. palin, aka “genius”
(handing you the card like wile e. coyote does bugs
bunny),
ms. bachmann seems as if she is trying to
imitate linda blair’s character of regan in
The Exorcist,
with that large smile akin to something of a demented
circus clown mixed with the glowing eyes of one
possessed &
when she begins to talk,
one wants to get a small garbage can quick,
in case she starts projectile-vomiting all over us during
her speeches
(actual physical vomit, as opposed to the metaphorical
vomit that COMPRISES her speeches).

if you don’t think she looks as if she shouldn’t be let out of
her house,
much less, let into the white house,
please consider that amongst the puke that has been spewed from her mouth,
in between sips from her tea party teacup,
she has told the american people that the film, The Lion King, was
gay propaganda,
she feels that all scientists support the concept of
“intelligent design,”
she feels melissa etheridge’s breast cancer will
wake her up to her wrongdoings as a lesbian & help her to see the
light & repent,
she thinks that getting rid of the minimum wage in the US will
completely solve the unemployment issue,
she thinks that the issue of same-sex marriage is the most important one
in the last 30 years in the US & of course,
she thinks that
“all cultures aren’t equal”---
one can go on & on...

some subjects for jokes & satire are
funnier than any words that could be said about them---
what the problem is in bachmann’s case is that she is
scary.

one of her great concerns is that
“we’re running out of rich people in this country” &
if she gets elected anything anywhere that might be near
THE
BUTTON,
know that no matter how rich you are,
ALL OF YOU
will not be able to afford a spaceship fast enough to get away from the
fallout.
