What began as a digest of regrets
of so many things beyond all control
what began as a manual of hedged bets
is turning into a burning coal
I dreamed I smoked a joint with the President
and talked about trying to change the law
that had come to be so diseased and bent
it looked to collapse under the weight of a straw
and I dreamed that I was the President
shouldering a burden I didn’t want
trying to stand up for the innocent
wielding a tool so heavy and blunt
this is a digest; I regret nothing
I stand behind every goddamn word
so ask not if the coal is still burning
of that you may rest assured
