Numb. 1227 Thanks?

Under the Hudson and down the turnpike

to visit mom’s mom at the home

Just yesterday I Googled the way

STOP TEXTING ON YOUR PHONE


Under the Hudson and down the turnpike

was it always this far away 

did you two shower we’ll stay for an hour 

for God’s sake don’t say you’re gay


Back up the turnpike and under the Hudson

after we stop at the mall

then some football turkey and all

Another Thanksgiving Day

Numb. 1226 The Knight Of The Long Knives (Donald's Version)

Sequels are forever regrettable.

(As are, for all that, originals.)

Only the untimely unborn

conceive past futures as livable.

Though they be octogenarians,

revolutions devour their children,

and in so doing fling open gaetz

to calculating barbarians,

creative destructionists who

consume then succumb.

Moral being: whole thing is dumb.

Civilization provides components

making life better. For rodents.

About The BYSTANDER

When young I voted Republican. Democrats? Union goons and Ku Klux Klan. Camelot Kennedy? Not my cup of tea. (Frankly, I thought it a scam. I was, by default, a Goldwater man.) Through Johnson and Nixon I lacked conviction. For Ford and Carter I couldn't bother. Then came Ronnie. The smarmy carny, hominy nominee. Time to change party! Bush, Clinton, Bush led to Obama which led us twice to our present trauma. (Ignoring here Joe Biden's years, which Trump, the disgrace, will erase.) Labor's diminished. Perhaps even finished. The Klan is a GOP brand. Anger predominates. A felonious reprobate holds country's fate in grabby hands. Still NOT a Democrat, although I vote like that. An increasingly frail, flailing old man. I proudly am an anti-Republican.
