Pearls from the false refuge,
Pink & prime!
Begin your attitude:
Who's feeling fine!?
Raining (heartbreak),
My shoe sin:
Shuffling through the aftermath.
From when did the Chocolate Rain begin!?
Bounce me to Mexico, you
Reborn goin' -
Rewind my superstar act,
In wings' favorite harbor!
Fire with me!
Apprentice me in decency:
Burn back through history,
Refiner's fire.
I'm a heavy tonight
remembered and ragged:
local singer, horizon-heretic!
Deceiver walks no turn!
Apprentice me in decency:
Burn back through history,
Refiner's fire.
Boring fire.

This has the disjointed feel of what it was like to listen to him speak. Sound bites and gibberish. The Chocolate Rain line did make me inexplicably happy. I'm with you on the frustration of ableist slurs being used against him, esp. when there are so many legitimate reasons to make fun of him. Nice lancing of those frustrations :)

@yewnorker It's not entirely serious of course. But I mean, the fact he's still hovering around that is part of why I wrote it in this cut-up technique way although I wasn't thinking hard about it. I also take a big shot at the evangelical support base, clutching their pearls at whatever they think should be opposed or seen as shocking or horrifying threat to their sense of righteous stability but somehow supporting a man that was so very opposite to their supposed morals - but also, yeah, not really. Racist nationalist sexist conservatism. My own journey with christianity and liberal-left politics is complicated, who we forgive and who we don't is complicated too. I'm not saying anyone ought to with him. Cancel culture is a trumped up charge but I have complex ruminations about the best approach and what should be in general in terms of rehabilitation and criminal and mental health difficulties including the personality disorders, whether to see them as needs that need remediating, the limitations of the punitive approach. And then there's a contrast there with the need to call out and target the problem behavious and vent anger too. And see justice, which can look more vengeful or practical. If Trump is as slippery as an ell though, talking him down might be the more practical approach. If a slim hope!
And I was thinking a bit about intergenerational trauma, the gilded cage and what treatment & epigenetics he got to make him like that. But he is also responsible. In the background, the fight between hating ableist insults of him as much as the ones from him, and being told I should be grateful. It's just a ridiculous fantasy lancing some of those frustrations in a way.

@yewnorker ew - not really missing him, very politically opposed but also from the UK although it is a bit weird in a different way, not quite the unmitigated relief and he's still hanging around! But for some reason, inspired by these random algorithm selected words, I had to imagine some kind of redemption arc for him. Apologies to Tay Zonday, and everyone!

TBH, I had to re-read this a couple times! Talk about "knock me over with a fender!" I think you miss the big guy, maybe? Anyway thank you for this. I enjoyed.
