We go thru elections once a year, it

never gets any better. After this, odds

are good:

1) Somebody will get a government job.

2) It won’t be you.

3) There may be a slight lull in the commercials.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Is it time to believe anything, no matter how dumb it

may obviously be?

Will I believe stunningly stupidly, or try for the

wizened old owl look?

Wipe that smirk off my face, maybe go for that

dismissive already know look, or will it be

the dumb and wonder?

In a world of alternative facts and cognitive dissonance

trying to live it’s own truth, does 2+2=4?

Or is there actually more than one way

to skin a cat, and I’m due for one of the kittens?

Will there be a virtual Certificate of Dumbed Down

for the commonly cored equally stupid?

Will I have to be able to read to know what’s in it,

or am I already smart enough to know how dumb

I am?

Any questions?

Yeah you. Cause you are

first in that age old question,

“You and what army?”.

You must have volunteered.

Testing positive, suddenly the “abundance

of caution” light came on, the shadows of

Plato’s cave were again highlighted, and everybody

thought they knew. It didn’t matter if it was a

false positive, or that there might maybe be nothing.

It was something. Maybe there was a sneeze, there

might have been a sniffle, or a temperature, we don’t

know anything for sure, and suddenly, masks weren’t

optional.

But confidence was high.
