Where the Sidewalk Ends
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

The People Yes
The steel mill sky is alive.
The fire breaks white and zigzag
shot on a gun-metal gloaming.
Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win.
Brother may yet line up with brother:
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can’t be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise,
You can’t hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people march.
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people
march:
“Where to? what next?”

Here is an idea. The senate decides to let the defense go first and Republicans spend a week or two explaining what a farce this whole thing is. Then, just as the Democrats are to make their feeble case (again) Trump resigns handing the government over to Pence. He would say it is for the good of the country to stop this corrosive partisan warfare. The Democrats will be flummoxed and not sure what happened. Trump would appear gracious, magnanimous; “the bigger man” who stoops to conquer. Then Trump can spend the next nine months campaigning freed from the burden of governing. He is a better campaigner even than he is a president and I think he has done quite well as president. I was horrified four years ago as he systematically picked off the best and brightest the Republicans had. This would be a bit different. He can pick whoever he wants to run against in November. “I am so glad Harris dropped out. I was worried.” And she is back in. “I admire and respect Mayor Pete.” And all his support dries up over night. Next January, Pence returns to vice-president and Trump is back. It is like wackamole. They think they got him and he just disappears only to pop up again in November. Or maybe a tag team match is better. “Get in there Mike and then tag me back in next year!”
Not a bad play;
I’ve been envisioning a replay of
Nixon-Agnew-Rockefeller-Ford,
except with SteveBannon and TuckerCarson playing the parts of unelected Prez and Veep.
We don’t need more politicians, we need a Philosopher and Vice-Philosopher.
