Dispatches from the picket lines,
Latest outrage from the boardroom suits,
Echoes of the monastery--
Master-apprentice, chains of authority
Feudal, unfruitful
And bells tolling.
Ed Webb is a Brit who lives in Philadelphia. His checkered career includes diplomacy on behalf of a faded imperial power, a soon-to-be-finished (no, really) doctorate in politics, and the odd bit of union activism.
