No escaping the race.
A moment, from 60 years ago
Recaptured by an old neighbor,
Who brought word of success, and death.
Morty has been dead 10 years,
Marty’s been retired to the Hamptons as long.
Herb will send me photos from 1950.
He stopped being Herbie in 1953.
I’ve recently taken to party politics.
Maybe it will be a learning experience,
Being president of a small, local
Democratic club.
What’s to be accomplished?
I’m not a preacher
And the members are not revolutionaries.
Maybe the purpose is fellowship.
Perhaps resolutions are overrated,
And real value lies in dialogue.
Invective promotes victory.
Discussion promotes understanding.
