Imagine . . .

(from The Reckoning: Our Nation's Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal by Mary L. Trump)

". . . The lack of accountability continued into the twentieth century, in sometimes flagrant and shocking ways. . . President Gerald Ford is responsible for two the the worst pardons in American history. . . In 1975, after 110 years had washed away (Robert E.) Lee's sins and reinvented him as some kind of hero, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 407-10 to restore Lee's full rights of citizenship. A couple of weeks later President Ford signed the resolution in order to correct an "oversight." . . . I can only imagine how the descendants of the people he enslaved and the Union soldiers who died because of him must have felt. . ."

Falling . . .

 

https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/falling-short

Falling short of adequately,
Or even microscopically,
To capture all the wonder
And the complex sumptuosity
In music's just plain daunting.

Results are rather tinny
Alongside the actual entity.
But the love inspires the effort
To present what's Harrissinny.

Fancy . . .

https://milkbarstore.com/products/

Add a little curlicue,
A flower here,
A doily there,
And pretty soon a simple stew
Takes on a kind of savoir faire.
Listen hard for drums and trombo-
That I've added to Spencer's Mambo.

Dancing . . .

https://www.etsy.com/listing/893522887/dancing-skeletons
Spencer doesn't do the mambo,
Either when alone or with a combo.
He's a peaceful man
And he carries no ammo.
Doesn't like heat
But cares little for snow.
He's a healthy guy
From head to toe.
He's actually traveled to Mexico.
But now he plays a mean piano.

Look . . .

". . . It was all so unnecessary. Nobody would have bolted from Donald's base if he had embraced a commonsense approach to COVID. Tens of thousands of lives would have been spared, and the economy, after a short-term hit, would have bounced back. His most deranged supporters would have hailed him as a hero - and a lot of his detractors would have, too. But Donald is constitutionally incapable of leading. . . "

Us? . . .

(from The Reckoning: Our Nation's Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal, by Mary L. Trump, Ph.D.)
". . . He made the pivot to the Big Lie in the earl morning hours after Election Day, before the results were even announced. He completely believed that he could turn things around. There was no reason for him not to - he always had. And let's face it,  seventy-four million of us, if the 2020 election results are any indication, never felt that they'd been betrayed at all. Or, worse, those voters put the betrayal to the side because they understood the degree to which having g a white supremacist in the Oval Office benefitted them . . . "

Bitter . . .

 

You never want to have to hear a word from me again.
Never want to have to see my face at your door.
If there's so much as the mention of my name,
You can feel an uncontrollable fit of pain.
I'm the one
That you said
You would love
Til the bitter end.

This must really be,
This must really be the end.
Nothing could be fitter.
This must really be,
This must really be the end.
Make no mistake it's bitter.

You never want us to be seen again in public places.
Can't explain it to another friend how it goes.
You say there's torment that you feel inside from many things.
I can tell you that I still don't know what that means.
Long ago,
We were friends,
Far removed
From this bitter end.

There's no candy coating
To make it go down easier.
Not so simple to digest.
No bright colors and no
Exotic flavors sweetening.
What you see is what you get.

You never want to have to hear a word from me again.
Never want to have to see my face at your door.
If there's so much as the mention of my name,
You can feel an uncontrollable fit of pain.
With one fell
Swoop, you sent
Me direct 
To the bitter end.
