Government Wings Two

More From Lawrence Ferlinghetti

You will remember when a bird crashed through the window and fell to the floor. you will remember, those of you who were there, how it jerked its wings before dying, and left a spot of blood on the floor after it was removed. but who among you was first to notice the negative bird it left in the window? who first saw the shadow that the bird left behind, the shadow that drew blood from any finger that dared to trace it, the shadow that was better proof of the bird's existence than the bird ever was?

Early bird oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird and catch the worm for your breakfast plate. if you’re a bird, be an early bird— but if you’re a worm, sleep late.

When government does, occasionally, work, it works in an elitist fashion. that is, government is most easily manipulated by people who have money and power already. this is why government benefits usually go to people who don't need benefits from government. government may make some environmental improvements, but these will be improvements for rich bird-watchers. and no one in government will remember that when poor people go bird-watching they do it at kentucky fried chicken.

I've always thought the american eagle needed a left wing and a right wing. the right wing would see to it that economic interests had their legitimate concerns addressed. the left wing would see to it that ordinary people were included in the bargain. both would keep the great bird on course. but with two right wings or two left wings, it's no longer an eagle and it's going to crash.

People who get higher pay are more willing to relocate--especially to undesirable locations at the company's behest... a corporate secretary may change companies in the same town; a corporate executive is more likely to change towns with the same company. a talented corporate secretary sees an invitation to relocate as an invitation; a future corporate executive sees an invitation to relocate as an opportunity--and an obligation.

For me, the anarchy movement is hilarious. it's all under .org, which is of course government sponsored websites, and then they're all wearing corporate clothing from the dr.martin's to the back sacks and the cell phones, they're all flying around on corporate jets and using corporate highways. very anarchistic!
