Having failed, utterly, at the arts of marriage, I'm not well qualified to venture anymore than a guess at it. I once wrote about a different union, long ago when I was a psychiatric aide at a mental hospital. I also was the shop steward. It's just a silly ditty, really, but something occurred today that reminded me of it.

In Union

How is it
that we learn respect for others' rules
when we detect they
practice not these things they preach yet
insist that we follow each?

I've learned
to take that bitter pill but one thing
I've learned better still:
to rant
and rave
and raise a stink;
it rubs some folks quite wrong, I think,
yet gives relief from all the flack
and gives, to them,
the ulcers back.
