it's why they lost

she doesn't care
what the young
have to say,
the working class,
the old too, the middle
aged.
the beaten
and reformed.
don't send me their podcasts
and takes,
she says
while sipping white
wine from
her ivory tower.
like a stale perfume
you can
smell her arrogance
from across the room.
only the elite
matter. the writers at
the New York
times,
or pundits on CNN,
the Post and CBS.
they are the only ones
worth listening
to. the only ones who
can give it to you straight.
give me the Ivy League
thinkers, she says.
the degreed,
those safe behind their
community gates.
why bother
with
the rest.
why open your ears
to a difference
of opinion?
and this is why the horse
they ran 
has lost the race.
