 “Release the hogs!”

Screamed the fat man in the bathtub 

for no obvious reason

except as declaration of intent 

to release said hogs

which would definitely have had an effect,

however, there being a dearth of hogs,

said proclamation was moot.

It was the age when noise had meaning,

as in the protests where words were not heard,

only the decibel level carried weight,

so the fat man was not without his supporters.

David Muir of the Newscaster persuasion strikes

me as one of those empty Suits, hollow men,

fat heads, nincompoops, dolts, retardos, pin heads

swarming the airwaves like locusts in frenzy 

of reporting a loud buzzing that occurred 

somewhere in the suburbs causing panic 

and the scratching of heads but no major

casualties or destruction…

that comes later.
