Window Gaze Haiku

window gaze
still the motel neon lights
and this car glare



FYI: This mood haiku could be read as a sequel to mine below:

alone
in a creaking bed
motel night

one, big, beautiful bill ...
a hushed silence
sweeps the briefing room
then a loud fart 
echoes, echoing


FYI: The Bill proposes approximately $3.7 trillion in tax cuts over a 10-year period. And Chris Lehmann remarked: the largest upward redistribution of wealth under any piece of legislation in American history.

And ABC News, June 3: Elon Musk attacks Trump's funding bill: 'Disgusting abomination'

This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination...the bill "will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt." He later posted that "Congress is making America bankrupt."
