watching an election campaign in the US
is like watching the scum rise in a heated garbage can
that has sat out behind a restaurant all night
after a downpour filled it up to the brim---
with all the horrid smelling trash floating around the surface
in no particular direction---
one notices a plethora of little bits of filth & miniscule debris
all swirling round,
like the explosive diarrhea expelled out of
an american politician's mouth
when the going is getting tough &
the name of the game is to sling the dirt
in order to taint the opponent's image,
as if any of them were ever clean from the
blood & shit they began to wallow i
