Trump visits the UK

The state of this visit

we peasants gaze

as greasy hands from distant lands

slap together and shake up our lives.

as foie gras & faux pas

are washed down with Bordeaux grapes

older than the states that guzzle them.

& when the helicopters leave,

ties loosened,

& we breathe

              what are we left with?

empty plates

              and fake tan under our fingernails.

I had to write something about the Trump state visit didn't I?
