5515. THINGS I'VE WANTED TO SAY

THINGS I'VE WANTED TO SAY

Are things never said before. I understand the

color of your iced-radish soup, something like

matching your eyes. I find that I listen really

good to foreign policy speeches  -  the kind

there used to be with Nixon and Johnson and

Ford. No one has them now, least of all the

current guy in the shed. I used to enjoy them :

strategies and reasonings for killing ten thousand,

for paying Monsanto for all that Napalm, for giving

Boeing their millions for airships that kill. For 'thanking'

the soldiers who'd done it all? Bullshit forever,

my country reeks of thee.

-

Now, I don't know, I've lost all that and don't

want to listen to crap. I'm too old for bullshit and

having nothing to gain. My clock's running out, and

the sand in my hourglass runs right up my ass. What

difference does anything make? There's a lawyer

for every sop, and a sop  -  as needed  -  for every

foul-mouthed lawyer who wants to run a play.

-

Ticket's to the Super Bowl? Want to go see the Olympics?

Soccer your game? Come with me  -  I can win this case for

you, take all your dough, and handle your bankruptcy too.

Perks and gratuities; that's how it's played.
