your name
inked
on a #slip of paper
in my finest hand
in your absence
I am resigned
to holding you thusly
sometime between
the bluebells
and
the fall of blossoms
we will meet again
a #ruse
to placate the heart
sorely burdened
with sticking plasters

When are world leaders going to realize you can’t negotiate with a criminal gangster? Have we learned nothing from Chamberlin try to placate Hitler?

Yikes! Trump’s nuttiness is really killing the markets.
Anyone think his recent cooling off (i.e., pledge not to invade Greenland, no tariffs on those opposing US takeover of Greenland) are to placate the markets?
