bluff, bloat and betrayal

poor Bluffo-Bribo

never grasped that to tear down

means that what is now chaos

will go on by Nature’s law, entropy

which can be relied upon

for utter destruction

While the Justice Department will do,

if not based on man’s rule of law,

the bidding of whoever is strongest

and bloat is not the equal of strength

pledge a loyalty

we pledge a loyalty to the red tie

and to the republicans for which

it stands, one country, under maga

irreconcilable, with liberty and justice

for all except those on the list deemed

a rival party or people

—poor us, Bluffo

grandma of great fortune

woman of courage completing her master’s

young women of solid accomplishment finding their feet and quiet strength

these are my granddaughters

fun musician graduating high school

caring college student working from and for home

brilliant young rebel honored by university for fighting for justice

firstborn of my grandsons taking on love and life with compassion and joy

these seven of my great fortune
