It's Personnel [Today's News Poem, October 13, 2010]
Personnel is personless,
Purseful and purposeless—
And never personal. It never
Was about you. Disappear,
Dissipate—manifest
Yourself as stitches or suturing...
You: persona mannequin,
Voodoo of nervousness:
Unspool a while. If the tethering
Is what's burning pockets then
Tighten your money-belt.
Remember: nothing is personal.
"Coming into their final debate of the California governor's race, Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman had a chance to persuade a statewide audience they could turn around the economically troubled state. Instead, their third face-to-face exchange resorted to many of the personal attacks that have dominated the last few weeks of the campaign."
