Tempting false choices
Bright, alluring distractions;
Banana peel wins

Ceiling will be raised,
But cirrus clouds are still clouds;
Signs of coming storm

American debt (debate)

Monday, July 25th, 2011

Boehner sets his jaw,
Settles in for a long fight;
Baby’s grunting face

Obama’s eyes well,
Endless chore of cleaning up;
(Don’t feed it pizza!)

Who aren’t people

Shrill midnight voices
Plead their case in Boehner’s sleep
Nightmare parasites

“First, I befriend you…
Next, as king’s compost tender,
I will betray you”

“We’re god’s dependents;
He claims us all on taxes,
It’s good for business”
