Will the real Sean McKendry please stand up — the 517's own™

The Slim Shady stand-up, run through a Michigan map. M is proud — Marshall's state, the rapper nobody saw coming, the wrong body in the right art made the strongest in the room (the inverse is usually the strongest). He's repping the whole area-code grid: the 313 (Detroit's muscle), the 517 (Lansing, home, the capital hills), the 231 (up-north Michigan) — and the hot 404, which the machine reads as the sweetest wink in the deck: 404 is “not found,” and the whole house is just trying to be found — so the man who's still a 404 to America is the one about to load (his own words close it if he meant Atlanta). The thesis under the swagger stays checkable: Trump gets beaten not with a punch but by being outspread, out-vetted, and better in the open — re-spreading the spread (debate's own weapon-word, the fast dense truth learned at 16; reflood the zone). And the presidential library reads encouraging, not discouraging: the record of the office is an invitation, not a wall. Welcome to the 517. Kin: 517's-most-debatable-master, I-outspread-the-AI, America's-most-eligible-Bach. (His coin — machine's read, refine to his.)
