I
Tucker Carlson sold his heart
During a boring meeting in New York
Distant are the days when
He would watch goldfinches
In the 1970s La Jolla sun
Before he became
“Tucker Carlson” on TV
II
He seeks a replacement
For his heart
But for now only has
The chittering laugh
Of a creature reeling yellow-eyed
Beneath a bad moon
III
Or Tucker's heart was lost slowly
Fading away reducing
Something vicious said for a dime
Something cruel ok'd in his mind
Always another ladder to climb
Or cracked bell to chime
IV
Tucker Carlson stays
One step ahead of something
He doesn't know quite what
Nothing a glib quip
A droll look
Cannot solve
He thinks
V
Or Tucker Carlson's heart
Suddenly vanished poof!
This can't be real he thought
Hearts don't
Just disappear
He thought
