Lost

In chess
When one
Has no way
Of winning the
Game given where
The remaining pieces
Are on the board it is only
Polite to tip over one’s king
To concede defeat showing
Good sportsmanship but
Republican leaders shy
Away from tipping
Over Trump on a
Golf course or
The White
House
Rose garden
When the gesture
Would go far to help
Him grasp he has lost.
How will he deal with
A dream deferred?
Will he dry up or
Fester, sag or
Just explode
Tipped over
Feeling
Lost.
