State of the Union

like a toxic playboy,
he speaks,
his charm bright
seeping from his throat
and eyes
and even from his finger tips
see the light when he points?
hypnotizing!

we cheer
& stare
like desperate zombies
roaming, fixated, draggy
wondering how we're going to eat today
where will we even go
what will happen to us?

"we're all ok," he assures us

we hope
we pray
he smiles

the great orator.
