The Hardships of Honesty - Neither Will I
I often surprise many people in many ways
With the words I say…with the actions I make…

Kin
by Michael R. Burch
for Richard Moore
1.
Shrill gulls,
how like my thoughts
you, struggling, rise
to distant bliss?
the weightless blue of skies
that are not blue
in any atmosphere,
but closest here...

Lozenge

Scientific Cultures of Health
Political Science is the compare and contrast study

Compassions
that can be governed only bipartisanly,
and would like to become
health care co-invested?
Political scientists worry if...

Contract Against Greatness
In Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"

Naked Redmeat Emperors
RE: Continuing RedMeat Only,
much less any Green Leafy Salads
Abraham Lincoln thought it politically unhealthy,
and probably economically unwise,
to disinvest his Cabinet,
much less his entire Constitutionally incorporated population,
