Not All the President's Men

darkness gathers
on the White House roof
crow by crow

into the midnight
tweeting about impeachment ...
a storm surge


NeverEnding Story, November 20, 2019

Note: The title alludes to the 1974 non-fiction book,  All the President's Men, by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, the two journalists investigating the Watergate scandal for The Washington Post.

Watergate provides a model case study of the interaction and powers of each of the branches of government. It also is a morality play with a sad and dramatic ending.

-- Bob Woodward
