[New-Poetry] A Short Political Poem

[Peter Joseph Gloviczki]

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the list and I thought I'd post a short political poem, since it
does seem to be that time of the season, again. Feel free to comment :)

Best, Peter

*Aural Politics*

I only listen to campaign speeches

convened by falling confetti itself.

If, in the act of the celebratory dive,

the confetti makes a concerted effort

to speak directly to me, then maybe.

But this recliner feels better than skin

& that noise is just hurrahs bookended

by eighties music, illusions of warmth

in an otherwise dull, crowded auditorium.

Can't you hear old ticker-tape, snickering?
