Poetry And Politics


Strangers and not strangers 
just the strange 

Give me a second 
I have to file my complaints 

Clean and antiseptic 
clean does not always mean pleasant 

Paying for poison at the polls 

Working the angels 
flying across the page 
with their quills 

Looking for inspiration in all the wrong places 
a house covered in white 
and filled with blackness 

It’s a difficult swallow 
the bullshit tells oneself 
to accept another’s bullshit 

Ethical elasticity 
and a shingles shot 

As one rules the world 
the other gives it reason 
to keep turning
