Member-only story
the administration is committed
to pursuing …
a nimble
nuanced
and multifaceted
strategy
godzilla
in the city
with a mother of a sledgehammer
… viewed through a shattered windshield
they haven’t got a clue

Verse one: found quote in The New York Times 11/13/2025
Father, husband, dog person. Retired naval shipyard planner trying to figure out what's next.
My thanks to the editors of Scrittura for publishing this piece!

Frederick, I like how the piece moves from polished language into something more raw and human. The shattered-windshield image, especially, makes the distance between what’s promised and what’s actually happening feel clear without pushing too hard.

viewed through a shattered windshield
I'm thinking that if that's the extent of the damage, somebody got lucky!Fun stuff!
