Hi Victor. This was a good poem it picked up and slowed down in just the correct measures. I enjoy poetry like this, it tells a story and you want to follow it forever. Regards MaBaker

As I non American, I can only guess that this is an expression of frustration with the leadership options for the next Presidential race. You characterise the lineup as Desolation Row, a harsh label. Mind you, from over here if Donald Trump is one of the favoured choices, I see why you're worried. Well expressed in tight, meaningful satirical free verse.

The election fever is really catching up fast and your poem touched on the subject and progressed to a more loaded message on narcissism, and the nation's fears. The ending line is a surprise twist and it is effective to break the seriousness of the theme. Thanks for sharing an excellent write.
