I don't count the number of claims
that my government is incompetent,
I accept that such claims are part of the price
of being a grown up and being able to vote,
that I will be advised by a diversity of opinion.
I have to trust that whatever the opinion is,
something like it has been said before
and it was no more accurate then than now.
But I will read and listen, in spite of the uniformity
of mediocrity that I find often surrounds me.
I remain hopeful of something fresher on the horizon.
