doing the math
is it a word problem? a math problem? or a political problem?

Knitting my brow, I’m

wondering whether we

have a word

Problem—

numerical,

mathematical,

logical,

or

political

Problem?

Scratching my head,

searching

Money Talks

to

our

representatives

Year-round and

Votes

boots, batons, fists, tasers,

Glocks, and cuffs cutting

off circulation—

24/7—

365…

3

minutes

2/4 Dance

is our

1

chance to

Advance…?
