New poem: "My Incredible Naivete"

 

My Incredible Naiveté

 

While listening to a YouTube podcast  

(The Victor Davis Hanson Show), it came

to me be way of divine revelation—it had

to have been divine, because I could never

have imagined it—how incredibly naïve

I am about so many things, the blood sport

of politics specifically; and the more I delve

into this most ancient of human activities,

the more idiotic I feel; and I don’t know

whether to wail at my blind presumption,

or thank the heavens for having the chutzpa

to explore human nature from another

perspective besides literature, which seeks

to make sense of the human condition from

every possible experience. I’m really enjoying

this new adventure, despite my incredible

naiveté; and I have Donald J. Trump, whose

life story could make the [os1] Great American,

Novel, to thank for my new interest.
