the sugarplum speeches

there's something about
a plethora
of long
political speeches
that has the same effect
on you
as an Ambien
pill.
before long, you yawn,
you stretch,
you look over to the stairs
that lead up
to the bedroom, and your
awaiting bed.
maybe one more cliche,
one more
promise, one more line
about the rosy
future ahead, and then
you stagger up,
groggy but happy
with sugarplums
dancing in your head.
