The Hidden Amendment
A terrified pack necessary for they deification of obscene wealth, the rights of bribing Oligarchs are never to be abridged.
While running dogs rise on their hind legs
in a “backwards” swath of the restless planet,
midst yapping filth of legislative kennels here,
the Big Dog is worshiped, pampered thus
while lesser breeds get siced on each other.

Water
-They shut off the water!
-Just about in the entire world. Well, I warned years ago that
The Oligarchy gave up on oil and switched to water.
-But what’ll I do?
-Not a bad-looking TV. Get a kid to help you haul it out to the street.
Guys are selling water from pickups. Probably give you a case for it.
-But why did they turn off the water?
-To show they can. Then they’ll quadruple the rates
and there won’t be a peep.
-But you’re a government official and...
-That’s a laugh. What government? I go through the motions
for old time’s sake.
-It’s anarchy now!
-That’s another laugh. Ten times worse. Total chaos! Everybody getting
a chance to shoot his gun. And when bullets run out, you beat the crap
out of anyone weaker.
-But all this violent insanity can’t benefit anyone.
-The billionaires think it can...trillionaires some of them.
-But this is America!
-That’s the third laugh you gave me! You’re an old comedian!

Rocco and the International Doctor
ROCCO
All the big shots come down to South Philly. And I’ll tell you why: it’s real!
ID
That and the food. It reminds me of some neighborhoods in Paris.
ROCCO
Slumming, from the High University College of Med. Why you’re against Socialized Medicine.
ID
Wrong end of sick, my Italian friend. I did a residency in France. It’s not
a perfect bijou, a jewel–what is?–but it works.
ROCCO
Then why won’t we have it here?
ID
Because oligarchies won’t give over power without long, bruising, continuous fights.
And I’m not talking about the AMA. We’re making progress there,
