Politics for Poets

Wake up!

Politics has been in the news. Today the stock market had a pop! There is optimism when people choose to be responsible.

We wait anxiously on the Supreme Court.

I think I've blogged enough today.

Life goes on.

D-Day was on this day. Thank You Veterans! I never heard the story of that day first hand because the people who were really there didn't like to talk about it.

~ OK Now.

 
 I've gone to the end of time
  bringing a bribe for the king of nowhere
     to try and beg him to give us something,
          anything
   to hang onto
         so we don't feel swept off to that far away bend
      and off and over through the breach
       of mind that's left as a mark
     on the edge of the creation
       artist didn't see that big pickup truck
      called eneveitible result of Karma creeping
          Back-at-cha
       so don't be blue, chuckerelli.

    And not on a weekday
       and not on a Summer break
    and not along those railing in gold
   that she enammeled or embrogliolliollioo'd
         into that routed out wood-panel edge
    that she lingered up next to
   while waiting for the puddles to dry
        in her mind
 for which it had all been taken away
     on account of the opposites that
         weren't ever even a little bit real
 for the doozie Tuesday barrol of mon-keys
       off at the fringes of those many
                  Sunday beaches
     of Itallian-aide
         root-beer-lightening.
