Two submissions from the August 2026 meeting of the Abilene Writers Guild.
Uninformed
by Julie Frybarger
Go…
withdraw…
Don’t suspend belief
Don’t breathe a sigh of relief
Watch the bottleneck of today’s cultural insanity
Sought by socialists for their intellectual vanity
These monitory yet exemplary prevarications
Are loudly continuing to defy real explanations
Like chain mail letters to select destinations
Reaching the gullible, uninformed delegations
Text World
by Linda Gordon
Some think I'm gullible, I know,
In my daily trek to check the mail
Where a bottleneck of flyers grow.
I reach in, withdraw it all…but to no avail
No exemplary letters…I look askant
At all the address destinations marked "occupant."
