They have left the stage
to those that clean
and mop up messes.
In Afghanistan
a man still scars
and tar bleeds poppies.
In Los Angeles
a comic picks fodder
to roast their boast.
In New York City
a late night fare
shares a needle with a cabbie.
The Free Press spins
their spin on spin
to say who won.
They have left the stage
to those that clean
and mop up messes.
