Pound and Pence: a Visitation
Here in the bughouse
irrelevant narcissism
mars biographies.
Bishop's miss the Marsh
bearding iris in their fen,
crisp and shivering,
while brave Daniel Swift
to draw upon his own life
experiences
along with us all
he assumes the excitement
we feel -- we all feel --
when our emotions
too far exceed their causes.
Lions in Winter
they're not and we're not,
but surely we don't deserve
Michael Wolff's clothing
sheep as they look up
in so much fire and fury?
What could we have done?
The Vice-President
dozes in his velvet chair.
What is to be done?
