Boehner Slinks Out

Boehner slinks out, head held high
as Cruz congratulates himself on the power of
his Party to shut it all down, from baby formula
to museums, from park to space satellites, what power
and satisfaction, smugness, to shut it all down
as they call their wives in their mansions, interrupting
her from talking with the maid, from dinner with
their 2.1 children who are above average, let them
eat steak while children go hungry, it's all
about politics and power, white middle aged
men too used to the scent of success, let them
smell skunks, boiled cabbage and sewage.
