New poem THE BALLAD OF CORY BOOKER
New poem about Newark NJ mayor Cory Booker's promotion of Cory Booker on MEET THE PRESS:
There's no such thing as nuance
On the Presidential campaign trail.
Surrogates can't go off-script
Any more than corporate employees
Or even some of us who produce
Commerce-flavored Art.
You can't say you don't agree with 100 %
Of what your party's candidate says.
Otherwise you invite party officials
And cable news pundits
To transform into CGI werewolves
That will bite and claw you to political death
If you don't walk back your heresy
By reading the exact talking point script
You should have done
One news cycle ago.
