The last few years we've heard a profusion of
  Media voices strident -- 'Russia-Trump collusion!'

Mueller's investigation's sowed considerable confusion
  We patient citizens -- citizen patients -- need a blood transfusion...

I visited the Met* today
And came to this conclusion –
My spirits were revived as if
I’d had a blood transfusion.

For two long years I’ve stayed away
And all of my seclusion
Has weighed me down and filled me with
The sadness of exclusion.

But walking through the galleries,
Enjoying my inclusion,
I feel prepared to join the world
And shed my disillusion.

Running wild 
Through beds of rocks and stones 
His voice echoes... 'Neath the mountain tops 

Years gone by 
Slimmed thin; his narrow bones 
His arms, still trickling slowly downstream 

Of man-stocked 
No more reproduction 
Like a blood transfusion...the trout swims 

Just like that 
Outliving you and I 
One day, Old Man River...will be gone

and oversee the madness
tying us through this long hall of the past
no one takes a step
neither could walk away
to break the curse and be brave
inherited cowardice, taken-on petulance....
