In honor of His health care bill

If it must be up or down, then I
declare myself oblique, bent, curved,
reticulated, backwards, side-to-side,
a waverer, a driving drunk who swerved
although the road was straight, a compass-based
ellipse, a tangent, hyperbolic line,
un-Euclidian as time and space,
trigonometric as the function, sine,
a ripple propagated where a stone
disturbed a stream, a probability
that won’t obligingly collapse, a lone
and undimension’d singularity,
mass of a mountain, scale of a flea, a blip,
a turn, a pirouette, a slide, a slip.
