as long as needed, friendships last
similarly with marriages, it seems,
witches and wizards stroll down streets
similarly with beggars I am told,
life in the south spoils those
visiting from the north who look
down their noses without spectacles,
silent animosity builds the nation
that lost its founding fathers
somewhere on the train that ran
aground in our electric land...
tips on the table for good or bad
hired help follows out the door
when it doesn't match service
rendered inside - pursuant to no
law posted on the menus...
governors and mayor clash on
Wall Street every time the voters
favor their opposition - mini strokes
are they having - none really care.
pitchers stand inside the diamond
that are a woman's best friend
wondering which curve will take
them to the series and which one
will send them home to babysit,
clowns from the circus escaped
leaving breadcrumb trails, wishing
the bulls weren't as mean as before,
unsure of their motives as they
stand in line at the recruiting station.
