the curtain tearing
the fabric unraveling
it will all end
like it always ends
badly

the divide is greater than your margins...nice capture of this pivotal moment in our nation...
wow glynn.. great example for an anti-conversation...so true...sometimes it's words and no conversation..criminals in suits...
you make it very clear in your poem, that there are many people saying the very same things about one another, only two perspectives. it's like standing in a crossfire.
there needs to be more middle ground to make a circle instead of a line. Holy Ground.
to have a conversation, there needs to be more than two similar yet opposite perspectives.
Or perhaps, talking over eachother so neither hears.
well done Glynn.
great way to show the contrast in political vies. i loved the end, the middle of the roaders, and I really didn't expect that. veyr cool.
A great example of the sad state of our country. I like how you arranged the piece left, right, and then middle... very cool.
Not sure what to say in response. Don't quite understand the movement. Well expressed words, nonetheless.
This prompt was intriguing - and you chose a fascinating way to go with it. Nicely done.
Absolutely excellent. I particularly love the title.
Fantastic - a conversation with no middle ground
Occupy Wall St is the war cry. The long suffering 99% folks had suffered enough. You cleverly brought it out in the open from all quarters! Great!
Hank
Clever write and well observed illustration of the divide between the have and have-nots.
And nobody listens to the other....
Anna :o]
not talking, indeed.
accusations recriminations
charges counter charges
attacks counterattacks
inculpations exonerations
etc. et.al.
good piece here….I like the structure, and the novel approach argumentation w/o conversation.
bottom-line: will it turn out badly? wow…that's wide open.
Like.
nice take on the prompt
This is very cool. "the curtain tearing the fabric unraveling" it is finished.
