Let Us Speak Clearly
Let me speak clearly with you
dear religious and atheist Trumpians,
A fool in executive office
is a leader
only in foolish directions.
A rich thief
is the worst thief
as survival motives
are absent,
so self-thrival motives
remain pick your pocket rampant.
An intellectual prostitute

The Canopy and Economy
Sun and traffic - day economy.
Six a.m. drive to plywood mill. Too tired
to be angry. Each day a step
toward death. What is being accomplished? The

And frustrations. Package dropped, honey...

again,
still,
today.
And notice
over these past several weeks
he unfolds two bipolar themes.
Berry is,

eating cheese and crackers, drinking wine, thinking the world

Or the falling leaves, the days shorter but so much brighter.
How the cloud cover of the canopy...
