September 16, 2015,
the Republicans’ second debate,
was, in a word, a thing to denigrate —
denigrating the meaning of debate,
that is.
He doesn’t know how to respond.
He hoped the rules of debate
would show up — better late
than never but never is forever
in this debacle of a debate
and so he turned to the channel
that featured drinking spirits
in foreign countries very late
into the evening of the Republican
non-debate or anything but debate.
What exactly or inexactly was that
which was on so very late?
