The Irreverents
-This new boatload of crapheads
is chummy with the fuckin Russians!
-Why not? They’re going up the ass
of the Religious Right also.
-Cue squeals of delight!
-And lying in verses?
-But a tax break is coming! You’ll get
seventy bucks and Mr Gotrocks,
seven million.
-Injustice and Inequality!–-for all the
fancy words in the golden documents!
-This too will pass!
-Like constipation?
-Not yet.
-Nyet?
-This gang can't even shit straight!

A Heart Resolved
Our Gen, for Gennifer, had
one defining characteristic.
Always.
She marched. For Feminism mostly,
but she needed no persuasion to
go anywhere and march for other
causes.
She burned with conscience!
"You could ultimately win, Gen! Over!
What would you do then?"
"Somewhere they're not winning.
The opposite."
So, she’ll die at one of these events.
Massive, as against this threat of
a president. Or ragtag somewhere.
She feels even more alive at the latter--
if that's possible.

Conversation re Patriotism
-Even you feel a twinge at the ballpark.
The huge flag and the service men and
women manhandling it to cover the field!
Then a local person, not a real pro, singing
the National Anthem with gusto.
-Would be like cheering billionaires.
-Granted they’ve gone too far and we’ve
let them. Adjustments are beginning
to be made and...
-Playing into a stacked deck!
-Even so. Such an unstacking will take
some time.
-One gets only one lifetime.
-And we can never achieve Utopia in it!
So what?
-Only that we can’t put up with a phony one.
-We moved from that...or are moving.
-Oh well! You and I are throwing into the effort.
Not hanging back to make wisecracks. And that’s
enough for me to feel the twinge you speak of.

The Quiet Room
-I had visions of being raped by a vicious stud!
-No real reason to use this Quiet Room.
All other conference venues booked.
Do you recall your previous…?
-Only the words “We could go to prison!”
-It was panic mode.
-I had visions of being raped by a vicious stud!
-Overblown. They seek fresher meat. At any rate,
two wonderful groups have blocked incarceration.
-Senate and House! I’m amazed at the paltry amounts
they’re bought for.
-Shh! Even in the Quiet Room we avoid strong verbs.
Rather say patriotic
contributions of Banking.
Besides, these but symbols in a novel.
-And the novel itself?
-One! Thumping! Book!
