grind it out with the monsters
on the grid. give it time; listen
to the tv, see what you can learn.
it's a cycle, I hear. ruler falls to rebels,
rebels rule for a time. it gets vicious
though. write a list. see what you can
suss out from that communique.
pick names from a hat, then work
it out. inclement temperaments
make for tough conversation.
swallow your pride. swallow it all.
try not to vomit. if you do,
it makes for a catchy photo op,
and the vultures will eat it up.
