a week in review

the stock market surges,

then drops.

immigration, protests,

schools shut

down.

trans athletes

on top.

crazy car burning mobs,

shootings,

deportations,

watching the wars

from afar.

violence and rhetoric,

politicians

pulling their hair out.

injunctions,

delays,

tariffs and trade,

judges and courts.

in total disagreement

over nearly every law.

Hamas and Putin,

Iraq

and Iran.

Musk

and Trump.

the Pope waving

with a small pale hand.

Biden bumbles and stumbles

all over again.

the Shroud of Turin.

eggs are up

eggs are down.

eating a ham

sandwich

at the couch while

the world

goes around.

next week, guess what?

more

of the same.

pass the mustard please.
