egoist in chief

Perceiving Trump's invested in the talks,
Kim preens and struts the role of a nuke-State
humiliating Trump until he balks.
Onlookers strain to tell which one is "great".
As diplomat, our president's unfit
no bound'ry marks what's personal as space
imagined slights provoke a childish fit;
he's less appalled by war, than losing face.
Dire perils each new twitter storm forebodes
as Trump's confabulations wax more wild
who'd trust a nation's nuclear launch-codes
to twitchy, stubby digits of this child?
Yet still, we dare to hope that Singapore
won't nudge us into a Korean war.
