Silver Lining, Day 1054

In Honor of Emily Dickinson's birthday today:

Because I could not stop for Truth –

He kindly stopped for me –

The Carriage held but just Ourselves –

And Accountability.

We slowly drove – He knew no haste

And I had put away

My cell phone and my Twitter too,

For His Civility –

We passed the Senate, where Children strove

At Congress – in the Ring –

We passed the Fox News Killing Grounds –

We passed my Rotting Sons –

Or rather – He passed Us –

The News drew quivering and Chill –

For only Giuliani, my Clown –

My Liar – only Foole –

We paused before a House that seemed

A Swelling of the Ground –

The Roof was scarcely risible –

The Courage – in the Ground –

Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet

Feels shorter than the Day

I first heard articles of ‘peachment

Read toward My Infamy –
