Foundations

This poem wouldn’t exist had I not discovered the fabulous book Pieces of  Intelligence by Hart Seely

After finding a book of found poems
with material sourced from
Rumsfeld’s actual press briefings

Poet imagines her big break
in publishing may come not from
activist verse she’s crafteds since before
she attained teenager status.

Suddenly, she envisions
creating her own bestseller.
This one featuring
words of someone
who didn’t lose their
devotion to democratic ideals
upon Beltway initiation
