Heavy ham fisted sleight of hand
Asked to unsee the visible
See the unseen
The vapid magician elicits oohs and aahs from the willfully ignorant
Governance is a tawdry sham
Over-coiffed
Under-principled
He is stealing you blind
And you lap it up in the darkness and hear only lies.
Prestidigitation Nation
It’s ripe, pick it.
Tables down, it’s First Class
And you lean in, and you lean back
Mealsnax arrive with white linen napkins and silverware
It’s a real knife
Because in real life,
The rich are not suspected
They get re-elected and each time
It’s for life.

Catherine G. Tripp, Writer/Investor a lifelong mix. Left brain and right brain battle for dominance. I wrote the marketing materials for my mortgage brokerage, had a personal finance column at Examiner.com, wrote essays, short stories and poems published in school papers and magazines then literary journals. If my writings were a color, they would be yellow, bright as sunlight, highlighting the salient portions, not obscuring the past but deconstructing air brushed stories, finding humor and courage in the unloved corners.
