Are the Chickens Coming Home to Roost?

Could it be? Kay Ryan has the poem for our times. I hope she is right.

Message to the Right-Wing:

The chickens are circling and
blotting out the day.

The sun is bright, but the
chickens are in the way.

Yes, the sky is dark with chickens,
dense with them.

They turn and then they turn
again.

These are the chickens you let loose one at a time
and small ––various breeds.

Now they have come home to roost all the same kind

at the same speed.

Ms. Ryan is a fine poet and I hope a fine prognosticator. We shall soon find out. November 7^th is just a little over a week away.

What kind of Country will we decide to be on this November 7^th, 2006?

Hopefully Ms. Ryan is right!
