Bit by Bit
I disappear
There are no cows
nor horses here
there is no land
to give me strength
sky silver blue
held at length
nothing closer
than the arm
the day
a bubble
the world
beyond
the planes
that left their trails
before
eaten by
the evening star
the intervening
breath
before darkness
lays its wreath
between
the devil
and the deep
a falling inward
asleep

we wail, we chant, we cry, we sing
we put a name on everything
the sky is mute
it hears us, not
and still we give it all we got
with the energies of slaves
who kiss the hand
but know the plot
this is where we came in
we’ve seen this time and time again
let us try to forget
why not pretend
that there is some other end
nothing is wasted, after all
take a broken tree
and burn the night
imagine if you will
the glow of summer’s light

Sing. Sing a song.

$25 Billion seems like chump change these days, compared to other bailouts. From the $350 billion that was thrown away by the Bu$h administration in 2008 with little or no oversight to the big AIG bucks that are getting at least a second thought. Are these the quakes and sunamis that occur where the globalization and protectionism tektonic plates meet? Not to mention the fault line where the “free market” meets good ‘ol boy backroom biz as usual. Should governments have regulations in place before the treasury gets tapped, or does it just depend on who is or isn’t subject to regulation? Someone who has fallen off the employment and then unemployment rolls for more than the alloted grace period is not permitted an extension, even if still unemployed. AIG gets rewarded for avarice and stupidity long after the fact. Its easier for regulators to just say no to individual workers than influential corporate entities. Perhaps Congress should (with a nod to the Ford CEO) forgo upper middle class salaries for minimum wages until they are able to join with the rank&file on this one.
