The Hypothetical Candidate


Say I run for Congress as
the anti-Walmart candidate?

That's taking on an entity
mightier than most nations.

As a sort of nation then, with
a domestic and foreign policy.

Its workers--excuse me, Associates!--
menaced by even thinner pay envelopes
should I succeed. The Chamber of Com-

merce exercising its greasy mouth &
money; China, of course, leading ally, coy-

ly chipping in to boost my adversary: True &
Thoroughly Dependable Pillsbury Doughboy.

Not legal, but where there's a way it
gets willed. I’m routed! Hammered
also by the Cross of Jesus–-in a land

of bribery, the religious
proving the easiest.
