Nixon's Karma




Hired to shake his hand

His eyes showed fear in touching me





He lost, rose from the grave

To win two more, by staggering amounts,

Then died in shame.  I spoil.  Don't near me.

  1. Oh, I really like this piece. Spare, with just a touch of the enigmatic. Have your shrink call mine.

  2. Willow,

    The poetry tends to be spare, 'down to the bone' if I can manage -- so much so that not a few readers get perplexed, want more clues.

    Barbeque, on the other hand, is too messy to handle, and I may just take a tentative bite o' rib and leave the rest for the host's dogs.

    (I'll send Dr. X's number via code -- he's just too popular for simple hoi polloi.)
