Public Diplomacy

Your fantasies are where our plans begin
As politicians stumble, and survive,
We take the news and send it into spin

Creating bimbo, bitch or heroine
Where there was twerp, or woman with some drive;
Your fantasies are where our dreams begin.

We reinvent the tropes as they wear thin.
We change the theme but keep the dance alive,
We take the news and send it into spin,

Orbiting our days, like CNN,
Consultants, anchors buzzing like a hive!
Your fantasies are where our dreams begin

And end. The static permeates your skin:
The repetition-swell on which we thrive . . .
We take the news and send it into spin,

And spin dreams into news. The world has been
Configured to react when we arrive.
Your fantasies are where our dreams begin;
We take the news and send it into spin.
