the public pretender

the public pretender, I mean
defender,
says I don't know
to every question I ask him.
how much,
when, where, how long,
whose fault,
what next,
what do we do now,
is there somewhere else
we can
go, or to
find out anything
new that we need to know.
is there anything else
we can do?
it's the same answer over
and over and over
again.
I don't know.
hmmm, I don't know.
good question. I don't know,
but the good news is
that there's no charge, no fee.
so all this
information I either give
you or don't
give you
is absolutely free.
