The Elephants

EVEN

First they thought
they could get things
straight.

Then they thought
they could get
even.

They invented numbers
to find out

if the harm
they'd suffered

equaled the harm
they'd caused.

It didn't.

Then they cast blame
into bars

and carried it
forward.

They were forward looking.
We are.

Numbers tick upward
on a board
above our heads.

We've lost track
of what they measure,

but it's something bad.

Hillary Clinton has hidden things
in her private emails. She's dishonest.
It's as if she's been having sex
with your father
behind a closed door --
while Donald Trump makes
a hedge fund manager his
treasury secretary right on
your kitchen table.
