Shared intimacies, on a post card, Governor.
What form will subversive resistance take next?
This note in verse should get yawns from Trolls,
permitting, perhaps encouraging praise
to land on your desk without patronizing.
The image on the card comes from High Camp,
White Pass, six thousand feet elevation.
Gold fish crackers in a baggie.
Brown bag lunch with grandchildren.
Toy spider from parka pocket. Notebook
message written in a hurry
during bathroom break stuns.
Grandpa's resistance to white nationalists
matches the Governor's, adding mischief.

OUTRAGE SLIPS INTO THE MAILROOM
AT THE NEW YORK TIMES
--to Paul
Krugman
My friend the shield maker sends me
your link early enough that I might get
this card in the box before the truck comes.
Welcome to the post card poems,
featuring bird stamps sorting mail
with feathered mayham. Two poems
imaged on the flip side gives room for new signs.
Sleeping through decades, civilians
might not be awake for your opening question:
Are you angry about
white nationalist takeover?
This morning George Bush defends the press!
Two shields hang from my wall. Made of tissue
and balsa wood, embedded 5-ringed rattler's tail.
Add one more question: Do
you miss your Constitution?
