proper use of the subjunctive


would that it were
so simple,
as popping the present
political pustulence
like a pimple.

and this acme
of sleaze and bigotry
cleansed and micro-scrubbed
off our national face
like a case of acne.

if we could but
open the spigot
and wash away the rot,
would that it were
so simple, but it's not.

  1. as I am a tiny bit illiterate relating to what I'd hoped to be,
    this set of words, proposing as to the/a prospective anomaly
    sees me wishing I could pull of such brilliant intelligence.
    And it is were all pulled of hope it'd not uncover my mind.
