for his was a brilliant plan
as their leader he knew
they needed him to do
something big
for their problems
big
enormous, like their state
honey buckets, tuberculosis
a contagion of self-slaughter
domestic violence, homelessness
needles, pills, empty bottles
so many problems
big
must be his action
he got started immediately
putting together all the ingredients
mixing, setting the oven's temp
soon the timer chimed
for his was a plan brazen
beyond measure
he chose respect
a bake sale for big oil
