FAMISHED DEMOCAT IN THE IMPEACHMENT JUNGLE
Big tempting piece of raw boar impeach meat, dimly moonlit clearing.
The famished, old, mangy off color Cat gathers itself for a spring, maybe its last spring, the air thick with the scent of other predators, Neocarns more vicious even than it.
It pauses, crouched, parched, and waits.
It can almost feel, nearby, the hot, fetid breath of close simian scrutiny.
An almost invisible, but hardly indifferent, Black Robed Leopard?
But, no tranquil bubbling Brooks nearby, to quench its thirst.
Another Hunter, younger, less cautious, less on guard, on the other side of the clearing, equally empty, greedy and desperate?
Nearby, an exotic cat, a spotted leonhardt, lying flat out, in the tall grass, its tail, twitching spasmodically, waiting for a wrong move, gathered to spring.
Fears finally Trump greed, even hunger, for the moment.

It smells many things, flowers, the scent of man.... Is the hunk of mystery meat Biden, a quid pro quo, not boar, not T Rump, a hunk of Gabbard, in the half light, the Twilight?
A trap to capture it live! (On television.)
Haul it, panting and mute, onto the floor of The Swamp In the fierce blinding Schiff ting glare of Open Midday Hill transparent Sunshine.
Cornered, a big long in the tooth Cat can't escape down a narrow dark mysterious Warren, an inaccessible subterranian catacomb fit only for Hobbits or dwarves, Cruz or Rubio.
Go ask Alice.
