Motheaten
Motheaten My motheaten, threadbare life Stands outside the door It has a key, but stays As the moths light upon it Their white wings enmeshed In the fabric of its night Waiting until the threads are all eaten The moths become the garments Then fly away to another, once bright life To leave mine bare...

An excerpt from an email to a morning talk show host in New Jersey
What I was going to say was that there is a massive disconnect between the population that is taxed and the population that is, through their children, receiving the benefit from our schools.
