" Contradictions "...

Contradictions
mixing signals
clashing with stances
treated unfairly
clamping down
gray hoodies
cargo pants

"No Trespassing"
phishing scams
taking advantage
of curious emails
as novel examples

like lifting "Welcome" mats
while trade deadlines pass
gathering activists
going according to plan
plot strategies
claiming to have our backs

savvy underclassmen
budget fares
complicated tales
of scary televised ads

running the gambit
with slogans that last
in between chasms
of partisan stands

filling nooks
and crannies
with eye-popping
wonderlands
well within grasp...
