Staring off into a distance limned
by cataracts and other collected debris,
you have forgotten none of the long-ago joy
of an ice-cream truck and its summer song.

Only 11 Republicans voted against the woman who called for the execution of the Speaker of the House.
Meanwhile, 61 Republicans vote against the woman who voted to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection.
Let that sink in.
