Good For Who

Enjoy your victory before it melts like everything else.
Enjoy your ample delusions and illusions before they twist and die at your feet.
Enjoy the sun as it sets on what you once thought was…

Good for rural America.
Good for deep pockets.
Good for somebody, surely.

Good for God.
Good for God-fearing folk.
Good for the academy of tears.

Good for pipeline.
Good for county fair.
Good for the local casino.

Good for fear.
Good for brain-freeze.
Good for dignity’s strip-tease.

Good for corn.
Good for monarchies.
Good for soul that’s torn.

Good for nothing.
Good for half the folk.
Good for some universities.

Good to you.
Good if you could.
Toward good we strive.

Half the hearts break,
the other half
delayed, celebrating
for now, but
will soon
like the rest of us
break.
