George Washington On A White Horse

Apparitions line the White House walls, portraits of presidents, 
FDR, JFK and Jefferson,George Washington on a white horse,
Reagan the first president elected after a divorce.
Trump and Clinton are there too,
one lied about an intern and a cigar,
another lied about Russian whores and a porn star.

False gods wear no shoes but walk among them, 
their faces shine, their teeth glitter with radioactive smiles.
Apparitions are gathering on the border
where once we made land in the dark on an unknown shore.
We are sleepwalking now (often forgetting our dreams).
We cannot see beyond the looming mountain outside our door.

Apparitions line the White House walls, portraits of presidents,
FDR, JFK and Jefferson, George Washington on a white horse,
