Making Things Work Again

There ought to be this law: public figures 

can’t breed. Just think 

how much misery could be avoided 

if old lions left us toothless

if it came about there was no way of passing 

a buck to the next c**k off the old block 

oiling hinges might hinge

on what not who you knew  

whether one drives a beat-up Ford 

or rode a cat-piss hound to work 

would matter no more or 

less than how far you could spit a chaw 

and men we never heard of 

but loved for no reason or every reason

could get down to the business of 

making things work again. 

Yes, there ought to be a law.

Now what would Ayn Ryan say about all this..lol. There ought to be all kinds of laws and public hearings and gatherings round your words, kind sir. Never ever disappointed!! Accolades upon accolades and smooth as that old Ford F-150~

Not sure about the situation in Canada, but in the US it's an us vs. them situation. Being some power figure's child is not the most important thing. What matters is whether or not you're most able to dominate them.

This is interesting in the vibes I get from it. The straightforwardness reminds me of frost and the the midwestern moodiness Sandburg. And maybe a little Ginsberg in the politics. But essentially, Frost, especially with the repeated line starting and ending the piece. Way cool.

also the echo of Canadian giants, Acorn and Purdy. Essentially written in response to the sentence of Tarrio today, and the business-as-usual stance of Repubs to DT, Mitch and Paxton. Also in response to politics up here, where we are involved in a provincial political scandal of another D'head who's only real claim to being a leader was his father's time in office as a failed cabinet minister. Everywhere we look these days, it seems we are handing the responsibility of gov't to privileged twats who equate their inherited wealth to actually having done something. A little grouchy this afternoon and this (and Blue notes) were the result
