'O Hillary!' - The Play

'O Hillary!' - The Play

            Hillary

Has a difficult part

           to play

In the Drama

          going on

And about to come

To its conclusion:

      that of the person

That some people love

           to hate

In her serial criminal

            and liar

            role.

Which, hopefully, she

Will not over-identify with,

         will be able

     to release

     when the time comes

     for graduation

Out of this class

To a higher one.

To say:

Does Hillary know that she

Is but playing a part?

                   No, 

I don’t think so.

She wouldn’t be able

To play it so well

If she knew she were

And was going to have

Such a great fall.

And so I don’t envy her

             one bit

In having her moment

           of grandeur

           to be over

And done with

When the time comes

For Completion

    in this particular

    classroom.

         —

Life is a school.

         The purpose

Is to graduate.

Not to get caught up

       in the Drama

In the lower grades.
