Author’s statement:
I took words from two poems I wrote—“In A Galaxy Far Away,” about my love for my wife, and “Where Have the Wildebeest Gone,” about getting old—and from an article in the Washington Post: “Opinion: The GOP Strategy for Crippling Biden and Retaking Power is Hiding in Plain Sight”—and came up with this poem from an angle and a topic I wouldn’t have written otherwise. Yay 30 for 30.
Buy OH:
Home Improvements is what I do, as I tuck poems and stories in hidden places in what I build to be found by eyes not yet born. I am a husband, father of two, have two cats, and I’m a dyslexic.

Great ending and succinct summary of the situation in U.S. partisan politics. The line “Escalation of radicals in a galaxy a billion light years away” is quite clever.
I love that last line! (It says it all.)
