O, To Be Alive and Cynical Today

In this age of post-civility
    not to mention post-amiability
  I find most posts I read
    full of hostility...  

  It's the era of post-biology
    as well as post-ideology
  'TBD Birth Certificates'
    without apology... 

  In this, the dawn of pre-disintegration
    along with burgeoning segregation
  The most-maligned phrase in our nation
    'merit-based evaluation' ... 

  So, into my bunker I prepare to hunker
    and since I'm no spelunker
  'A Century of Automotive Progress' I write - 
    from gas-powered clunkers
                                    ~ to EV junkers

Wonder if we hid in a bunker for 10 years what we’d come out to?!
