How laws get made

He woke up to the braying

of a 4 am infomercial touting

a miracle girdle-and-ointment

belly fat reducing product.

....... I lost thirty pounds.......


The table lamp was still on.

He managed to fumble

the switch off on the third try.


The only light in the room now

was the glow on the hotel room tv

with the smooth talking huckster

selling fifty dollar miracle products.


The stale taste of the wine

that had tasted so fine

a few hours before,

now clung to his tongue.


Two plastic glasses sat on

the nightstand, one printed

with the intricate topography

of a pair of scarlet lips.


A note on hotel stationery

penciled with midnight blue eyeliner

was tucked under the glass:


Had a great xxx time! You dirty dog!

the video turned out super hot!

Your dialog was almost as hot

as your close-ups -check your phone ;-)

Voting instructions are attached

at the end of the video, Congressman.
