(found poem)
to fight criticism
that his tax cut
only benefitted the wealthy
George W. Bush
had one American family
from each tax bracket
to the White
House
when he was asked
why there was no representative
from the top tax
bracket
he responded
that he represents that bracket

I enjoyed this short piece. May I ask what is a “found poem” in this context?
A found poem means that the text comes from another source and has been adapted by the poet into poetic form. In this case, this poem is based on a news report. I was taken by the unintentional meaning put in the report.
