Among bloodless creatures
Without hearts or brains
I prefer echinoderms
To politicians.
Imagine a sea cucumber
By the name of Jane
Striving toward an office
From the bottom of the sea
Who has learned a single word
In 400 million years
--by this pronoun Jane’s elected--
Me Me Me Me Me
Imagine a starfish named Joe
Who can point east west north south
And chooses one that promises
More mollusks for his mouth
We have many Janes and Joes
Subslimely in the Senate and
Much more in the House
--It’s an epidemic!
How can Mother Green allow
Beches-de-mer without conviction?
Everyone of them deserves
A Permian extinction.
