Campaign ’24   The world is burning. There’s too much to care about, so numbness is alluring. Greed and lies and cruelty are in vogue — the glare   of oncoming headlights is blinding. How to make sense of what makes no sense? The air is all wrong these days. The meanest are proud   of their virtue as they squander our seed corn on bad bets. Rage is all the rage now and going for broke is the going creed.     © Michael Fleming Dummerston, Vermont January 2024
