” The Days Before “

The days
before
demanding
generational
change
while snacking
on life savers
having suffered shoulder strains
and struggled with tie holds
as manipulated voters
glimpsing investigators
via takeout valets
as revealed in court papers
with contested delays
like out-of-control
skateboarders reeling
with eyes closed
hearing unrealized
emotionally
grotesque groans
throughout
the uncondoned
lives of our own
portioned out
as obligatory
old jokes
being foretold
over and over
and over again...
