    It probably would have hurt her campaign to be given a fucking award to prove she was normal.

    Trump did a lot of obvious theater to pretend he was with the masses and saw himself on their level instead of a man who literally coats his walls in gold. But Harris wasn't even willing to pretend she was anything other than an elite. All of her working class bona fides were about her past. That just doesn't mean dick to people.











  • There is a certain time of year wherein
    the leaves have fallen from the trees
    and the snow is yet to come;

    and as I roll, a passenger, past the creek
    I can look over and see it naked
    all its curves and the high banks

    bristled with cast off shoots and
    shriveled leaves of the undergrowth
    sleeping in anticipation of winter

    See how it winds unprotected.
    My little creek of measure,
    that I check each time we cross the bridge.

    An old ritual of bond with my father
    whom I regard with silence
    as we cross it this time.

    While the creek and the deerhang, where
    they’re strung up on the shore of the little lake,
    still remain in their seasonal rhythm.

    I am struck each time we pull into
    the mouth of the place I called Camp.

    Each time I arrive it seems that there
    is another sylvanectomy, cutting the trees
    out from where I had known them

    to shield sight from too far and too open,
    hiding me from the sky that watches
    the world turn ever onward.

    A new footprint, too large, even for its purpose,
    yawns bloody and white before me.
    But it points to a useless void beside it.

    They cut even there for convenience
    in service of some notion that seems
    to me very much like pride or delight in control.

    I watch and feel that I am not
    In control at all now.
    No protestation has saved these woods.

    The creek is denuded of its shield
    and I am denuded of the delusion
    that I could watch without discomfort

    as things change.
