in lieu of working

it's sleepy
time when the speeches drone
on into the late
night.
and the counter
speeches
from the other side.
the commentators
fact checking
what's wrong,
what's right.
it's the machinery
of politics,
cranking out
another promise,
another vow,
another pledge to fight.
what would any of them
do, if they had
to get a real
job
and wake up at the crack
of dawn
to punch a clock?
