her service to humanity

she loved the high and monied life
she caught the biggest rich fish
and lived high on their wealth
like a bloodsucking parasite

in moments of sober reflection
she felt the emptiness in her life
but eased it by going shopping
and spending thousands on
designer dresses and purses

and seeing her purpose as
a service with her extravagant
shopping helping many people
staying profitably employed

Over and Over and Over

I wondered how sleazeballs could become politicians
yet I saw them doing performance art in congress
over and over and over and over and over and over
voted in and voted in and voted in and voted in
I couldn’t understand how anyone could support them
how anyone could be so politically stuped and
unable to see through the obvious dumb deceptions
then I saw how the mainstream media was complicit
in providing cover and false narratives about them
and how many low information voters got duped
over and over and over and over and over and over

skiing drunk

he’d skied all his life
some said like a pro
he liked the feel of
skis under his feet
the wind in his face
the crunching sound
of the crusty snow
the freedom of it all
the getaway time
from the hassles of
his hard driven life
drunk on the slopes
he skied erratically
lost control of skis
into a deadly tree
his skiing days
his forty years of
life gone forever
