Everything depends
upon
my law-
yers.
See you
in court,
@ soreloser.

Raoul is an English teacher who has settled in Barcelona with his wife, Susana, baby son, Pau, and dog, June dog.
We remain in a state of shock.
We remain in disbelief.
Today has been stolen
by liars and by thieves.
We remain in calamity.
We remain at the tipping point.
Today we have been taken
by a sunrise that disjoints.
We remain inside history.
We remain caught in tragedy.
Today we are much poorer,
lead in false alchemy.
We remain the will of the people.
We remain what must be respected.
Today the will of hate
and fear must be rejected.
Hilary, I forgive you.
Tim, I forgive you.
Michael, oh Michael, I forgive you.
And Donald, yes, even you Donald,
will be forgiven
because now only forgiveness
can be our new economy
and we must hold our begging bowl
towards the kinship of others
as an adulterer pleads
through their divorce settlement.
The captains have sunk down
to the level of rats.
The armada slaves have been left
to row for themselves,
the sails too thick now
with the blood of those
thrown overboard,
trapped on a course
not of their choosing.
There will be no vote
on how best to stay afloat.
The stars have been realigned,
needles removed from their compasses,
all the maps pissed over
by a drunken admiral.
Deserter rats,
when you eventually wash up,
no shore will want you.
