last night
news of
glad tidings —
blue wave or tsunami
(depending on
metaphoric skills
of newsreaders) —
offset by devastated moans
of those crushed
by results —
today
though
looks
about
the
same —
shopping
for inflated deals —
wondering
what I forgot
to buy —
under a same old
snickering sky
as always —
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
onward,
