Racing Forms
The Derby death of Eight Bells, a filly,
three years of age, favored by Hillary,
caused my superstitious self to sense
broken legs forced forward on a fast track
mean: certain euthanasia ends that race.
Big Brown won that Derby and The Preakness,
but a cracked left hoof, well patched by greedy
fellows focused on the Triple Crown, failed
to deliver as promised; Big Brown lost
The Belmont Stakes and came in as dead last.
Brown's handlers can't explain why he faltered;
the jockey said he felt he had no horse
when he spurred him to seize an opening;
Brown's "can do" became a slow "no, thank, you"
thus, Brown enters history books for tracks.

Amanda,
Have never used Maya as a model. She was one of several
women I noticed who dared to endorse Hillary despite
the pressure many men gave into to change their stance, i.e.,
John Lewis.
Whoopi Goldberg, Maxine Waters, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones,
Judge Judy and other women I admire were pro-Hillary while
the MSNBC/WP/Newsweek smear took off and gagged me.
Maya stayed loyal until released by Hillary to support Obama
post his receiving 59 delegates via Michigan/DNC which so
surprised me as it effectively put him over the top count-wise.

It rather reminds me of when the Junker family let Hitler take
power thinking that their control over all the newspapers would
let them smear him and get rid of him after he'd done what as
needed- like to repudiate the treaty of Versailles.
They didnt see the charismatic power he had with the new media,
radio and film. Nobody saw Omama's power with the internet, but
we can hope the mind of the leader is more lucid.
It took a Nixon to go to China, it'll take an Obama to end racism
by getting rid of affirmative action. Hillary couldnt do that. He
can tell Black men to be responsible. Hillary couldnt. He will also
be able to go to the dark skinned leaders of troublesome regions
with more moral authority than any white man, but without the
native reaction of mysogeny Hillary would have to deal with.
If Hillary stays in the senate, she'll be more able to help him
get the programs they both want passed enacted than if he stayed
in the senate and she was in the Oval Office.

Although I'm not a great voter myself, and have only a sensationalist
interest in the presidential race - I must say that the idea - first -
that "competence" is a great virtue, when possibly what is needed is
someone who wants to shift the parameters of what competence means is -
at best - banal. In actuality anyway, Hillary hasn't done all that much.
She was- by all accounts - an inadequate lawyer, she headed up a very
flawed approach to healthcare which ended up making the situation worse,
and she voted for our present misadventure. She may be competent, but I
am discouraged by that competency's application.

Hi, Jeanne,
appreciate your disappointment
your poetry's really coming along, still a tad prosaic for my taste
but you know me
there's truth here and beauty in a Keatsian way
