nostalgia for last decade

 was it really so short a time ago that people

like jill biden seemed plausible? as i watched her

middle class karen (after all, aren't all white

middle to old age women that batshit crazy anti

vaxxer, flat earth mother bitch?)accomplishments 

her oh so precious love for her family, her belief in

the goodness of people,

 the sensibility of muricans for goddsake

it left me crying for what the times could 

could become if we don't blow this thing again.

i mean, it could, couldn't it? kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

i preached tweedle dum tweedle dee all my life

but honestly what lives in the white house now

is some transmuation of a dee love child, 

birthed from no zeusian head, no, 

this one was shot out of their combined ass.  i

mean how different do you want?

joe believes in climate change don't he joe wants

to have medicare for all don't he, joe is woke now

ain't he, ain't he woke

now?

 joe biden's career splashes across the screen.

the man who worked across the table with his

fellow pols during regean's banana republic 

awakening of  the usa conversion

to the nascent dystopian nightmare-in-orange

currently dismantling

only the good things that came from morning

in america. that guy in the senate

that democrat that pussied on oliver north

air traffic controllers, iraq and afghanistan

and so many other sleazy dealings through

four, prolly 5 administrations,

 that man who understands

that confederate statues can't be torn down overnight

 that courage and morals have a learning curve and 

the internet goes way back(let me sniff your 

 innocent hair, dear one day voter) 

yeah, that guy, that joe

can unite what has been overpoured

into a fragile mold, can catalyze

the swarm into something solid

 and unbreakable

and make us whole again

like we never were. 

***(***

 i mean i cried bc

it was more like a lifetime movie

that i want to desperately believe 

is representative of who we are

than a convention. i wondered how much

they paid the writers.

 has it always been this way?

*

i cried because the very people jill should speak to-

my sister, her husband, my ex coworker friend , the devout christians

at my  work(and there's alot of em), some fb relics of the past

a covey of karens my age-the ones that neeed her most

will not even see this message for the choir. my only hope

is that the choir is vast, heaven's mormon tabernacle choir, 

the choir watches from  infinite zoom boxes

all across this country   i just can't see them 

because my pixel resolution is too low and the choir

is gonna sing in november. a joyful noise unto the world
