Target Practice

Whatever the country, the oddity of Politics
is less how easily the discourse becomes absurdist theatre,
played out for mirthless laughs
that end in bathos or gallows humour,
and more about how when governments set aims 
part of their aim is settling levels of carelessness,
about whether their targets are human or
abstract.

Every target becomes like they are
-a straw man hollowing out leadership
through reliving the failures of the past.
