Me And My Pencil— 
(Unpublished as of several years back) 
 
“Equality of opportunity is what they are gonna hand us now. 
Never mind the equality, just a sample of the opportunity. (Lots of people never saw one.) 

“Pressure of progress” is supposed to be the activator for all those blessings were “gonna get.” The steam must be low or we’d already gottem.—mebbe it’s a vacuum or, what’s worse, a suction. In either case we ain’t got em and ain’t gonna get em, we’ve got to take them. 

You and I can grasp “equality of opportunity” better by considering the “skill” cuts and “dumb” raises—all will be equally broke. 

Alibis for the the three letter outfits are flying thick and fast. One would almost think the relief agents a row of crooks: 
“Paupers pankakes chewed up by the office force.” One administrator claims he was “shocked.” Paupers were only chagrined.
