Jesus is my savior, 

Trump is my president

implies two worlds in

sharp contradiction.


Trump is my light in a dark room, 

Jesus cups his hands around the flame. 

Lord – protect him from my enemies. 

My enemies, my enemies, my enemies 


Lord, you set for me a table amidst my enemies. 

Though I don't have a table – 

just two bags and an oversized coat 

a hat that reads: 


Jesus is my savior, 

Trump is my president. 


I repeat the words, I believe I do. 

Until I fall asleep on the train

amidst my enemies, 

who laugh at my contradictions.
