Adams and Dearborn, old guy
disheveled as I
waves a handbill
three days before
the third anniversary of the present war,
drones impeach impeach impeach
impeach.
I smile and pass, take
nothing, then turn
and put a hand on his
shoulder: I think you should add Cheney,
Hastert, Stevens, Rice, Snow,
Rumsfeld, Gonzales, all the way
down, all the way
down.
I know I know I
know. They
pay me to say
impeach George Bush. I
do what I’m told...
I shake my
head, turn, no
leaflet still
...until
I get rid of all
these, he
says. Piecework.
I stuff one in my pocket so
he’ll get paid, walk on.
Wars run together.
