Dirge of the Salesman


-The women tied up the airport
with Chief Complaint Day! So I
missed my appointment with
Old Man Tompkins and his kid.

-YOUR chief complaint?

-They got me fired last time.
Said I was a drunk.

-Were you?

-Went fake AA and Chubby Carl took
me back.

-And your record since?

-More misses than hits. More hangovers
than triumphs.

-Thinnest ice?

-You get used to it.

-By the way, what is the women's Chief
Compliant anyway?

-They're working up to it.

The Policymaker, Drunk

Oh there’s a prosperity.
For the few. And we intend
to keep it that way.

So stage your marches, etc.
Print your funny signs--
a folk art to be sure.

God’s design in Truth
you chafe against
your place. Briefly.

Wholly yield,
you’ll know

happiness. Won’t
need the pursuit.
