There is little
that "Bey"(once) and "Jay" (Z)
do quietly
but what has been quiet
are the couple's donations
of tens of thousands of dollars
to bail out protesters
arrested in Baltimore
at least according
to the activist "Dream Hampton"
who ghostwrote Jay Z's
2010 memoir "Decoded"
but later deleted
her original tweets
with that claim
due to a twinge
of Twitter regret.
And just as Obama
is now occasionally
tapping into his plentiful
six-year store
of accumulated moxie and chutzpah
and temerity
today he has been granted
a personal Twitter account
under the name "@POTUS"
to deal with that
of his followers.
(Luckily it's only
1.16 million so far.)
