Letter to the editor: Predictions and opinions

I feel obliged to share information received this morning from the magic blue freckle on my left middle toe. It has been issuing political forecasts, like Joe Biden will win the 2020 election for two reasons: Many GOP voters will choose Biden in hope the intensive protesting (also the pandemic), nationwide, will pipe down once he’s in, as only then will it be possible to rebuild the economy. And because mail-in voting will enable the Dem Party to cheat, monumentally.

The blemish thinks there will be an epidemic of homelessness, the pandemic will ameliorate into permanent restrictions on conventional freedom, the U.S. will remain the corporate oligarchy it’s been since the Bush family and Clintons, and Biden will continue with what The Donald initiated, like the tariffs against China, the peace initiative with North Korea and a transition from centralized federal authority to statist rule of law and policy.

Personally, I don’t follow politics, but the blue freckle on my foot won’t shut up, it can’t type and it itches like poison ivy until I report its opinions to the public. Views expressed here are its and not mine. I don’t think about politics. I’m a poet.
