Atmospherics
I.B. Rad
Some say
the world to come
will function
on wind or solar,
others nuclear,
still others, natural gas...,
I say it’s gas
for the world ever has
and always will
run on hot air and flatulence.
Truly, if “money’s the mother’s milk of politics,”
mendacity’s its oxygen
and whether misinformation’s propelled
by paper, TV, radio, blog, or tweet,
passing gas is passing gas,
so no matter how it’s framed
it smells
just the same.
