Marblies

The MAGA women have a certain look
like MTG, Pam Bondi, Keri Lake.
It’s not just age, or how their smiles crook;
it’s eviler the players’ poker face.
They’re not too fat or thin. Quite regular
in body weight and many other ways,
it’s for their views they’re most spectacular,
supremacist and ill-informed in spades.
They’re not accused of being barbie dolls,
seldom described as anything like cute;
those Taylor Swiftish things for liberals
seem opposite from the bad vibes they shoot.
Perhaps they’re striking, I might give them that,
in ways that make most normal people laugh.
