If the current political leaders
disappeared today,
I would miss them.
I would miss waking to breaking news,
the first alert, the lies rephrased,
repeated, analyzed to death,
sandwiched between ads
selling things I don’t need
with money I don’t have.
If the current political leaders
disappeared today,
what would I have to look forward to
besides the quiet, indifferent sunrise?
