Bull Swoosh Politics

One week after going missing,
most of us are desperate to dress up
looking to dance the night away

in a paddock in the liberal-baiting area,
saucer-eyed, bursting with ideas.

I’m not that interesting anyway,
just a disembodied voice
snuffling about in a blackberry bush.

Slowly using up all oxygen, I grew weary and died.
