Transparency; or, How Did We Read Him...? Let Us Count The Ways.

(At every appearance 
of the word 'read' in 
the verses below --
except the final one -- 
that word should be 
pronounced /red/.)

We read him 
like a failing New York Times 
best-selling book. 
     We read him 
like a bible. (Did he even 
take a look...?)
     We read him 
like a scientific treatise 
sans its math, 
     or a manual 
advising how one curbs 
psychotic wrath.
     We read him 
like a midnight tweetstorm 
listing all his hates. 
     We read him 
like the writs of pardon 
sign'd for MAGA mates. 
     We read him -- 
although he himself 
has never ever read. 
     Now, read him 
like an epitaph: "Hic jacet..." 
('Cuz he's dead.)
