Labor Day chasing the city kids from the beach

Labor Day turning over the compost
happy homecoming a barking dog
gazing at the shore goodbye becomes hello
on-time departure and yet I feel I've missed the boat
leaving the harbor the crispness of an IPA
cloudless sky a billboard asks if I'm going to heaven
awakened by the rumble strip a blue flashing light
a fool's errand setting out on a journey to nowhere
crowding the zócalo the chosen few #blueskyrelay
what price paradise? the distant music of the ocean #HaikuChallenge
homecoming the cult of the buttered roll #WordedArt #vsspoem
Queen Anne's lace some dare to call it a noxious weed #vssdaily

Good point! I shouldn't insult life-giving compost when I should have called out the toxic waste band.

I agree that while many feast at the MAGA ideological compost heap, none of them have the cult leadership "qualities" of T. I'm sure his goal is to abolish presidential elections before 2028, since he thinks he's the smartest idiot in the room.

Trump is an obnoxious loudmouth living out a totalitarian fantasy, but Vance and others in his orbit are true believers in Christo-Fascism and are lockstep with KGB Agent Orange. Vance is heir apparent to the Turd Reich.
