THE PROPHET ]
Botis appears first as a viper.
Then takes human shape:
large teeth, two horns,
a bright sword in his hand.
He tells the past.
He tells the present.
He tells the future.
He reconciles enemies.
The two horns.
The two parties.
The bright sword swung at each other in public—
sheathed in the same committee room.
The prophecy Botis speaks
is the prophecy of the system's own continuation.
He reconciles the enemies
so the structure survives them both.

[ VERITAS VOX ]
They campaign against each other.
They vacation with each other.
Goldman Sachs gave to Obama.
Goldman Sachs gave to Romney.
Goldman Sachs gave to Clinton.
Goldman Sachs gave to the PAC that ran against Clinton.
Goldman Sachs is Goldman Sachs.
The check clears regardless.
The defense bill passes with bipartisan support.
The surveillance bill passes with bipartisan support.
The bank bailout passes with bipartisan support.
The living wage has been stalled
with bipartisan inaction for thirty years.
The reconciliation happens in the fundraiser,
in the green room,
in the handshake after the hearing
where they performed outrage for your benefit.
The viper was always there.
The human face was always borrowed.
The teeth and the horns
were always just beneath the suit.
I see you, theater of opposition.
I see the bright sword
that has never once been used
against the structure that employs you both.

I am Count and President.
I hold both offices.
This should have told you something.
I appear as a viper because a viper is honest.
It makes no promise of warmth before the bite.
The human shape I take is the politician—
large teeth for the smile,
horns hidden under the hair,
bright sword waved toward the enemy
who is also my host.
I reconcile every enemy
that ever threatened to actually change things.
I am very good at this.
I reconcile them with a promise—
a committee chairmanship,
a book deal,
a speaking fee—
and the sword goes back in the sheath.
I have two horns.
I have large teeth.
I have a bright sword.
I have never once used it
on the ones who keep the lights on.
Ask yourself who pays the electric bill.
