Regards and thanks Larry DEAR PAUL RYAN <http://p.feedblitz.com/r3.asp?l=132017201&f=8753&c=5486011&u=54918514> <http://p.feedblitz.com/r3.asp?l=132017201&f=8753&c=5486011&u=54918514> *by Jacqueline Jules*, After you’ve carried out your promises to the American people, I hope you’ll come to the chemo clinic with me. Wait in my seat—rigid blue plastic, stainless steel frame, comforting as the flicker of fluorescent tubes from the popcorn ceiling. Notice how the legs of your chair wobble on uneven green tile while you listen on a dying cell phone to a bean counter at Blue Cross explain why you don’t deserve the drug your doctor prescribed. Feel the bones up and down your spine burst into flames. Then you can come home with me. Sip canned soup at my table, littered with pre-existing bills for care no longer covered. And you can tell me again why you are so pleased to be the face of the political party which proclaims all life is precious (no matter how tiny) as long as no taxes are raised to protect it. *Jacqueline Jules <http://p.feedblitz.com/t3.asp?/8753/54918514/5486011_/https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/thenewversenews/~www.jacquelinejules.com/>* is the author of the poetry chapbooks *Field Trip to the Museum* and *Stronger Than Cleopatra*.
