We were wishes, welcomed warmly,
Wrapped while wailing.
Weaned, wobbling.
Walking, wandering.
Waiting, waiting.
When we’ve withered,
Will we worry we wasted
Wistful wants with work?
With worry?
Will we wish we’d waged war with weekday waiting?
When we’ve waned,
When we’re weightless wind-born whispers,
Will we wish we’d woven wonders
With wild wide-eyed whimsy?

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.
