Growing Wings

I asked, "Why is it that we
are now in a place where
we place party over policy?"

She answered, "Because
it is easier to go 'moo'
while leaping off a cliff."

I also asked, "But doesn't
anyone ever look down
as they make that final leap?"

She looked down for an answer,
"Perhaps the people hope they will
grow wings as they fall."

I said, "But only the angels have wings
so as to hurriedly carry messages
back and forth between us and the divine."

She said, "Such archaic forms
of communication only serve
those who make the policies."
