Another poem up today at 42opus: "Eulogy."
***
Thrilling night of election returns last night, even though for much of it, before numbers began coming in, it was just a bunch of fat guys in suits bloviating for hours. Still, I probably watched from around 7 until midnight.

Did you vote?

How about a vote on those to C.K. Williams poems at Poetry Daily. Man...as the Dems sweep into office, the poetry mob is as GOP as ever.

Wow, those are, uh, dull.
Bloviating Fat Guys in Suits sounds like a Conan O'Brien channel bit.
Voted, yes. And the six-term Republican incumbent in my congressional district was unseated! Of course, it's just a start, and I'm skeptical of anyone who views Dems through rose-colored glasses--but finally we've broken the stranglehold in Washington(!)
gorgeous poem.
