Two Citizens
-Do you have the time?
-For what? Of course not!
-Of day, I mean?
-Irrelevant to the task.
-How does it feel to always obey?
-Rushed!
-No shortage of awards.
-I trip over them on my way to further Glory!
-How will we ever do without you? How fiercely
you completely behave!
-Such compliments! Unlike you.
-We also serve who only see the bullshit.
-Oh? And does it make the world go round?
-Indispensably!

For the People
-I came here to work for the people!
-How’d that go?
-For the party more like.
-How’d the people react?
-Remarkably quiescent. Of course I threw them the occasional cookie.
-How so?
-When Noises didn’t need my vote I was allowed off the reservation.
-So, the great maverick on Face the Nation.
-Spitting fire! Spitting fuckin fire!
-All in all, though, despair?
-Just about. Leads to booze and ladies who give a shit
about nothing.
-Wife back home?
-Roams.
-Worse and worse.
-Our constituent service, though, top drawer! We got young people who work like Trojans.
-Well there is some pride then!
-Yeah, I came as Patrick Henry and leave a really good
7-11 manager.
