i just need a scoop…

really need this job
so gotta give the public
not reality
but what makes their hair stand up
putting cash in my pocket

don’t wait for it…

i had
hoped
to have
a
personal
conversation
with you
but
you insisted
that
i respond
on
facebook
so that
all
your
friends
could serve
as
your
surrogate conscious
and to
no doubt
provide you
with the kind
of loyal support
worthy
of
at least
two
kindergarten gold stars stickers
alas
i am not
a certified member
of the
instant pudding mind group
so this query
into
your years
of
duplicitous living
shall end
as with
all
your ventures
seeking
more

your tax dollars at work…

i was telling
aunt bea
how upset
i was
with the nsa’s tactics
and
the subsequent
justifications provided
by other agencies
you know
the usual examples
of
how this has
saved
lives
and
all of democracy
kind of a
postmortem
on abuse of power
but
aunt bea
said
what upsets
me more
is the inexcusable
waste
of tax payer dollars
if the nsa
wanted
to know
anything
about us
all they had
to do
was connect to
google
or
facebook
and
they could’ve seen
every association
we have had
and
probably
what
we had
for breakfast
and dinner
