Day: November 4, 2019

 I woke and remembered I had been dreaming of
 a room full of overflowing wastebaskets which 
 I kicked over accidentally because I was                       
 late starting for my trip to Chicago 
  
 I did arrive in time for the afternoon meeting
 Where we discussed declining population
 And excessive sunflower production in North Dakota
 Representatives from the farmland were worried 
 about revenues
  
 It was noted that lake water had dropped
 after three years of rising and 
 there was worry that the Russians
 and Chinese were draining 
 the Great Lakes for fresh water for drinking  
 Conspiracy stories were running wild.
  
 The Fentanyl epidemic was growing worse with an 
 Increasing number of deaths.  The border wall
 was complete and no one could explain the reason
 Many blamed the Chinese
  
 It was noted that there was rioting 
 Over the cost of beef
 Ranchers said there was a shortage, but
 meat lockers were full of product that
 had remained frozen for over two years
 Normalcy was not going to prevail
  
 Also noted was that the Queen of England 
 and the Pope of Rome were traveling  to 
 an important meeting at the United Nations 
 They were to receive the Rosa Parks Award
 for addressing world problems. Sixty communist countries 
 would be the only ones in attendance 
 The meeting ended with no resolutions, but 
 an agreement to meet again soon
