JUST ANOTHER YEAR

by Robert M. Chute


The voters of Michigan
careful not to slip
on the ice
step over the latest
bodies from Baghdad
to tell us
IT'S THE ECONOMY
as we told you before.

Let the leaders
have their war.
It's only a little war.


Robert M. Chute has a book from JustWrite Books, Reading Nature, of poetry based on scientific articles, that is available from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
