Rumor has it
if you stop by the Koch mansion
in Wichita Kansas tonight
Charles and David themselves
(through many protective layers
of a highly advanced
and proprietary "working class repellent"
made from a composite
of natural and synthetic materials
from their massive subsidiaries
including plastics and petroleum
and asphalt
and chemicals
and energy and fibers
and minerals
and fertilizers
which is the "natural" part)
will tell you
some of the best stories
about the ghosts
of American democracy.
But you'll have to stop by
the Sedgwick County
Democratic Party Headquarters
if you want any candy.
