Meanwhile

A stone door opens

on the side of a mountain.

A mother shoots her two

teenage daughters and is

killed by police.

A comedian with swastika

paintballs for Trump.

Hillary denies ever having

been human.

George Will quits the 

Republican Party and 

becomes a ballerina.

Other politicians shred

themselves, unable to

decide what to be for 

or against.

Meanwhile whales wash

ashore ceaselessly 

in natural protest.

No judgement, just 

documentation is enough.

A Bruegel painting is enough.

A Terminator movie is enough.

Video of Mid East wars is enough.

Certainty is certainly uncertain,

of that we can be sure...belief in

God evaporates as surety dilutes,

as ozone depletes,

as cell towers proliferate,

As England still can't make up

its mind if it's part of Europe,

As Bernie is sure he's voting

for Hillary...sure he's sure...

for now.

Meanwhile, Syrian refugees

enter USA, and Americans leave,

or buy more guns.

This is not a complaint, just, facts.

The truth is still the truth, always true,

observable, concrete, present tense.

Meanwhile, George Will does a plie,

and goes home.
