For any still-undecided voters
a recent television ad
from Donald Trump
sums up the heart of his campaign.
Unlike Hillary Clinton
he will "turn Washington upside-down"
much like a glass snowglobe
(to excuse
the pre-Halloween Christmas analogy)
denuded of its precipitation
by an ignorant tiny hand
who destabilizes the also-tiny
and imperfect but complex village within
before carelessly letting go.
