Thanks Donald Trump
for reminding us
that on September 11th 2001
our country experienced
a terrorist attack
that killed three thousand people
and was watched on TV
by some millions of people
but which is a not-nearly-as-impressive
number of millions
as you have been able to achieve bigly.
And thank you
for boosting the morale
of a nation in the midst of conflict
much of which
you are responsible for creating
by putting your mark down
solidly in favor
of overcoming national tragedies
the only way
you know how.
