There's This Thing In Politics Called The Process

________________________________________________________________________________________________

People inside the process, 
constituting as they do
a self-created and self-referring class,
a new kind of managerial elite,
tend to speak of the world
not necessarily as it is 
but as they want people out there
to believe it is.

Footnotes
 Ms. Didion's book of essays,
introduced me to the Yeats poem
featuring that phrase.

I was not hip enough
to have discovered the poem
on my own.
