Barman Speakathon

by David S. Pointer

You’re trying to return the last televised Presidential
speech on a cheese plate of unmet political promises

You’re trying to fight the ongoing profit extraction
out of the common workers’ annual paycheck

You’re trying to keep the electricity on to the Pegasus
horse lamp with pink shade in your daughters’ eyes

You’re trying to fight the controlled expansion of
mobility with an expedition pick called an ink pen

You’re trying to point out the economic advantages
of therapeutic international assassination to the top 1%

You’re trying to offer a little liquid aid and Southern Comfort
to an economic enemy in a skirt charging too much for drinks

You’re just trying to keep the casual kisses coming in the form
of very kind words while keeping your alcohol habit intact

That’s all the holy innocent hell you’re trying to do!
