Try the next line.
“Put him in a boat until he’s sober.”
And if he’s drunk on power
and not much of a sailor
and sober isn’t any better,
pull the plug.
Let him sink
to the lower depths
where his cronies
already are
their bloated bodies
their sightless eyes
weaving in the deep
let him join
while gravity
out of sight
beneath the surface
does its work.
