economics
the game of politicians
democracy’s salesmen
who insist
it’s a great deal
a steal even
they’re dealing
in heaven
and railroad ties
to make them
appealing when
you don’t
need either
a share
or a stake
but equal representation
they think
it would be
a mistake
if they’d ever
let it slip by them
as everyone’s buying
the song
of the day
or the patriots way
they’re decrying
they’re laying
waste
to it
chest down
roadside
choking on
words
much too big for them
