Cops Know


if whole bunch lying,

it’s planned.


So finding pair agreeing
tough enough by normal lights.


With political parties,
naturally, all rules remade


as conspiracies take
fantastic, foolish flight!

Constitutional Imbroglio


-Give President a choice: Abdication
or Prison.

-And his party?

-Abolished! In favor of a truly Conservative one!

-What good is that? Same dead, stupid ideas!

-Could be, and yet glorious to some?

-No matter. Always a scrim for blatant thievery at any rate.

-I always knew ideas were good for something!

Another American Story


-I myself was poor before I discovered

THE POOR!

BECAME THEIR HEART-BRIMMED ADVOCATE AND THE FUCKIN MONEY POURED IN!

-Are you a Democrat or a Republican?

-Both! It’s Heaven on Earth!

Modern Behavior


Our Party lies incessantly.

Labeled as THE NEW TRUTH!

You needn’t proclaim it.

That wattage reserved to our Stars.

But not going along will be dealt with.

-This administration?


-NOISE!

-Must I listen?

-Every freakin bit!

-I’ll go insane!

-Go? Hey, do what you can.

-But Party desires cash following
each and every bizarre momento!

-Respond! One fine day they’ll never forget you!

-Money is how, if you must be remembered?

-Feed the Kitty now!

-Or she’ll never stop howling!

The Uninvited


Les never invited to events, great or small.


He went anyway.


None of this I wouldn’t go where I wasn’t
comfortable!


“Ever-comfortable” could be his moniker.


His Monica never invited either.


She threatened to picket!


At any rate, know any UNcomplicated
relationships?


Not enough there: just having one social
shortcoming in common, you’d think?


You’d be wrong.


Again!


Besides, life is changing!


Leary, School Guard, and his present wife, Dells, fellow guard and former twirler, have invited them to a “Bloody Mary Breakfast Bash” prior to the Morningside Thanksgiving Game.


All pack of course.

Belief


-You seem to be fuzzy as
to the country where you’ll be
Ambassador. Is it in Europe?

-I believe so.

In Another Country?


When the new party took
over, they smeared

the outside windows
with shit.

Exuding, they so in-
sisted, perfume.

More snide moments
followed for contrast.
Being a Movement.

Won’t last, a bitch,
but many will get rich
from dancing

fear. Words do, though.
Scholars exist

by  parsing them
in handy nooks.

When It’s Christmas-Time Down South


“Show a little pantie, Auntie!”

“Quench it! You whole damn lot of sex fiends!”

So...she left with an uninvited one.

‘Crusher the Crasher’ later married into
another, decidedly lower, branch of our
family.

Professors should study to affirm it’s human.

Primer on American Exceptionalism


-They closed down the government again!

-Did anyone notice? But, why do we live in such
crappy times?

-Don’t blame MY party. We’re not eating fire
and shitting gold bricks for our greedy clients!

-No, you’re just laying down.

-Sheer fatigue! Anyway, you deal with the
government you got! Just placed my nephew
in a department.

-Which one?

-Not saying. They’ll try destroying that one first.

Requiring Hypocrisy


-So I’m to go 180 and blast my signature issue?
Which really represents us all! Our pride!

-Sorry. You owe. And we need you.

-For the Party? What kind of party goes back on itself?

Its hallowed, traditional word!

-One which survives.

-Well I won’t! I’ll go Third Party! Campaign on a bicycle!
The Last Honest...!

-We got a room where we scrap Don or Donna Quixotes.

-I can win!

-Uh huh? And another room for whoever helps you, your
Sancho Panzas.

-You’re exclusive in all else, but not in revenge!

-Hispanic Inclusion! Let’s welcome Spicks all to hell!

Illi-nigh


-I’m from Illinois, where we have the indictment ahead of the politician!

-How can that be?

-We get it ready before he or she takes office.

-Ever been wrong?

-Yes! When the individual serves the people and not the party.

-Not in recent memory then?

-Lincoln in.

-Fuck 'em!


-The first twenty anyhow!


-And save the rest till tomorrow!


-I’m hot enough for my natural rhythm to come through!


-And Blackies try claiming only they 
got it.

-Just don't bother going there.

All’s Well


Good Guy and Good Gal


go to a party
and nod off.

After that, every-
one does.

Drinks grow flat
and chips wilt.

Hostesses speeds back
from 7-11 w/ad-
ditional Diet Coke.

The sight brings her tears.
Her guides never detailing
how to keep people awake.

But she rallies: “Hey!
What is this? The Night
of the Living Dead?
”

Her boyfriend, Murph,
shoves the sodas in
the frig while muttering

of his weird dream.
“I hope about me!”

“No way! For you’re my true
dream everyday!” His bullshit

revs up all, and they rouse
now to dance. An awfully fast

one, so some fall down,
the start of a victorious Do!

Important Parties


He still hated her.

But there she was at the party for Mickey and
Melora going to Europe for his job.

Laughing! Well he had seen her cry many a time.

The more she enjoyed, the more he withdrew.
Finally sitting in the middle of several chairs,
nursing the bottle he had brought. Perhaps not
the exact one...had grabbed it from a table.

He's eventually shoved to the wall with the chairs,
and rugs thrown over the jumble. For the kids and
their dancing.

Muttering under there, and then crying. One youngster
shouts “Lighten up, Old Man!”

Their comedian.

He falls asleep, but wakes to hear her leaving.
Even over all the din, her usual hysteria.

Emerges in the middle of crazy dancing.

But Becks rescues blinking him. "Where you been?
We got a helluva football pool going! Throwing in
twenty each, so one sweet payoff!"

"I'm in!"

“Money talks!”

Gives him the twenty. “I got the munchies you wouldn’t believe!”

“Eat for Crisakes! Enough for an army!”

Laurette loads her plate too. Did she see Delsey leave?

“Yeah, with some bum. Exquisite taste!...oh I’m sorry:
you were one.”

“Ancient History!”

Kicking Against the Pricks


Jilly calls CSPAN. (The men around her amused afterwards.)
She’s nervous, but wrenches her point out.

Goes to Party Chair and wants to run for something.

“I need help. Details submerging me. Be my third hand
for a bit. Party going down the toilet here, let alone
nationally! Learn the ropes, we’ll run you for something.
Eventually. Maybe.”

When she’s later elected as a Delegate to the National
Convention, all their friends didn’t know she had it in her.


Husband suspected it, though.


Jip Heller opines she's gotta be the cutest one!

Party Politics


 

PR


-I want Rep_________on CSPAN.

-He’s a vicious idiot!

-Yeah, but actually soft-spoken, and that’ll
work against the jerk-off image.

-Thus good for the party, you think?

-What else? Party! Hip hip and freakin hooray!

-There’s...more to life though, yes?

-You know that song Is That All There Is?
Well that’s all there is.

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.

You can bring Rose
with the turned-up nose
but don't bring Lulu.*


Ambiguity first! (Intellect’s
battle cry?) Turned-up as in

cute like little piggy? Or,
her emblem of assuming

superiority of taste?--
lording over all of us

from snoz. Anyway, none
in ball-breaking Lulu:

strenuous! and that's it.
I’ve tried counseling her
for society’s sake to eat

a bit of shit, but, wildly in-
educable to the end...

oh well, eventual room
for such women too,
separated dramatically.


*Don’t Bring Lulu–several versions beginning in 1920s

Political

The factions, dismissing
murderous intent for now,

hammer down a deal, re-
sembling for a wry moment
superannuated clowns

at a benign convention. O
where are the sneers
of yesteryear?
