We'd be on the list,
he said
In days past,
that list for VIP-s only
was for a screening, a fashion show
A red carpet, a gallery soiree
But days before the Election
he was quietly referring
to a purge list
A VIP of a different sort
We'd be on the list,
he said,
if there was a coup,
for being artistic dissidents
The sun sets in Hollywood
and I'm in the VIP Room
which is my living room
praying, hoping for peace
