Golden Bridge Over Turbid Waters
When big politicians vicious-
ly criticized, I often give half
a pass, thinking
of those countless
hours in tiny districts' fog-
bound meetings. Of course,
nonpareils among them skipped
such minutiae, giving speeches
full of blinding logic instead.
Their grunts and pencil pushers
bask in the greater magnificence
of plumb genius, the golden bridges
over turbid waters. They sigh at length.
Party leaders refer to their
Intellectual Royalty
as knuckleheads.
