A Small Matter In a Larger Context
My ex-wife is on the cellphone
Tiring me out
She lives on Facebook
Her life is images and itineraries
She’s a good woman
But I see way too much
Of her food nowadays.
America has gone and its
Probably not coming back
Some see that as a good thing
That’s depressing
But I think in many ways
We are all globally bereft
No matter what
Life has its challenges
We wear masks
Some are throwaway
Others remain
Obviously
I can’t say much
About you know what
And it would be forward of me
To speak out and outrage
The ever watchful
You know who’s
Least I find myself
Deemed to be
A you know -
And maybe even
A whatever
Wolves now roam
Sniffing out
The questioning
And the voiceless
They are leading
The disconnected and willing
Into a glorious future
And everyone
Is a hero now
