At his final Correspondents' Dinner yesterday
after so many instances
of doing it colloquially
(which
for the slang-uninitiated
is a good thing)
President Obama
literally dropped the mic
though it was
still on purpose
and with purpose.
Said the actress
singer and activist
Rosario Dawson
"There's a connectivity"
with the Obamas
and "it feels seamless"
and remarked on the president's work
"as a community organizer"
and "how that’s grown
into the presidency."
"We need that level of inspiration.
It’s going to be hard
to see that go."
And meanwhile Donald Trump
remains unseemly.
