going from drastic
plastic to tragic tantric
tantrum terror plots
by bilious faux billionaires
serving sorrow by the sack
evening news was a
#soporific until it
became a non stop
death rattle of sanity
with fat man public farting
#Pressure on the wound
A tourniquet on a limb
Both stanch the bleeding
A vivid call to action
Save the body politic

Summer day bike ride
Found a wet cement pillar
At sun baked streets end
City park bubbler welcome
At last a cooling swallow
What looks like sunrise
Is really Diogenes
Holding his lantern
Over our land searching for
An honest politician
