Accountability
-I saw the facts and acted!
End of particular story.
-My take: You misperceived
half and fucked up remainder!
-Too pat, but let’s say you’re
somewhat right. I regret nothing.
Prevailing whining mode for others.
-What happened to Be sure you’re
right and then go ahead?
-Strike everything but the last
two words.
-Diva? Or do you just want your
ring kissed?
-Too busy for literary conclusions.
At any rate, I’ve been wrong, yes.
Will be in future.
-We don’t accept…!
-You assholes are locked in a talky;
I remain with the silent film.
-Melodrama!
-Maybe it’s that or lights out.

City Governance
-“Bureau of Adjustment” it’s called.
-It’s for when you’re tearing your hair out?
-Thousand upfront and we make most go away.
-Where does the thousand go?
-Where it does the most good: The Party!
-What’s the process in making some other bureau
drop the scabrous complaint?
-You read from a script:
Hi! This is_____________from The Adjustment Bureau.
Big Guy says drop the fuckin complaint against_________!
-Thousand could be a bargain at that!
-Uh, there’s actually a sliding scale.
-Littlest John Q might be dinged for...two?
-About right.
-Sky’s limit after him?
-Such a beautiful sky!

Dopes and Crabapples
Another automatic law
clicks in. Sequester.
Parties can't confer
to do it sensibly.
There seems to be
principles. Uh huh?
There’s also Statecraft.
Your trade. What you
were elected for. Not
the applause of
ideological jerkoffs.
Only remedy, citizens
chosen by lot to govern.
“Oh God, we'll end up with
dopes and crabapples!”
Like, now is better?
