another very long night
without sleep
shoved under the carpet
hidden in the window
of real pain
from the brown middle east
to brown southeast asia
a death spiral is not
a stairway to heaven
the summer of love
a long forgotten trail
never taken
of course the hippies were right
but the experts bullied their way
in
with defecate diplomas
and jumped to the head of the line
with the largest megaphone
selling their expertise like carny
hucksters
the best and the brightest
is still a madison avenue
ny times book list ploy
dripping in sour milk & honey cool-aid a commodity trader's illusion
no antidote
for wildfires hurricanes pandemics
