There's beauty in anonymity
That allows actions needing
Neither forgiveness nor blame
***
There's shielding in irrelevance
That rescinds responsibility
As we go our merry ways
***
There's respite in incompetence
That steers assignors away
From the simple-living assignees
***
There's wisdom in unimportance
That lets us pick and choose
Only the battles about to be won
***
It's now or neither
The present or oblivion
And you'll never know which way I choose
***
And I'll be on my merry way

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
