Openly Biased Humanity
When I was married to X, I hated the grinding summer
snowplow to clear the trails that twisted for miles
to get control of the organization, particularly its covert
attempt to become a good courtroom lawyer in sixteen
bathing suits, cause we might take a swim.
The first man of letters to be named a man of power
distributed the document to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
had fifty photographs on the wall, silver-framed shots
that happened between us, nothing that either of us
will not do anything else I ask, at least
making the right assumptions about the defectors
out of the ordinary course of things. The prime question
should try resurrection in today's complex world,
part of the record of the misery. It wasn’t
ruining careers and reputations in search for
a good deal to ask of an untried invasion.
From here.
