All Over the Place

Ante Up For Arrogance

Abruptly found ourselves
short a day or dollar, &

showed our friends
the face they've not seen.

Witness the US Senate,
the dropped mug of
the now-minority leader.

But don't dwell on him
as if his sins transcend.

The trashheap of ego
awaits all of us. Weigh,
pray how you wish.

It's the destination at which
you strut, Cock o' the World.
