Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Facing Paranoia

Paranoia is full blown alive in Robin’s world.
She is yelling at me about the Chinese.
They have taken over the White House.
They are chasing Tucker Carlson.

The Japanese have hacked our computers.
The French have compromised our cell phones.
The Ukrainians are listening to us on our Echo’s.
Robin is running on six days of coffee, no sleep.

I suggest she take a sleeping pill.
We all suggest she take a sleeping pill.
Did you know the Scots are poisoning our water supply?
I begin chasing Tucker Carlson.

L Milton Hankins July 17, 2022 at 1:58 PM (chuckling) I don't know who Robin is, but she has real problems. As to Tucker...He is a [unspeakable word that rhymes with him]. I can't stand the guy! Caren Krutsinger July 17, 2022 at 10:07 PM I do not know him, but the friends I have who do loathe him which is why I threw him in.

Jenna Logan July 17, 2022 at 10:49 AM Chase him someplace far, far away. You get impetus to write on everything, and sometimes nothing at all. Amazing. Caren Krutsinger July 17, 2022 at 10:07 PM Thank you Jenna. I can write in my sleep and often do - waking up listening to the last line of a long poem.
