Spiral
I was late to the clinic and
my adjustment counselor was pissed.
Wasn't that just like me?
On account of my oppositional complex.
I just had to stop for that quick hit
in the drive-thru alley with the junkies.
But if Daddy hadn't screwed up my order
I wouldn't have had to shoot up twice.
I'd sleep on a feather mattress
instead of this old gym-mat.

Bill on a Code of Ethics for the Province
As the honourable member for East Sinsancto power-reads the Cautious Liberal amendments for a bill altering the unethical behaviours of all elected representatives, those officials snicker chat and spitball each other.
The Ever Forward Conservative representative of Nova Bay South next offers his party's amendments as the honourable member from Lower Downtown Pugington whispers sweet something-or-others into the ear of his assistant.
Finally the Chair, who backbenches the Ruling Central Left Leaners, submits his own written amendments and winks his deferral to the morning's 1st coffee. Relieved laughter ricochets as the sun threatens the west-facing windows.
