Public Opinion
Public Opinion by Mike Lee
public opinion is
just more internet noise
leather masks, word whips and
promises
fish mouth judges
squeezing their tounges in the press
shark skin suits
lawyer lies
telephone crackle
media mush
cry and criticize
melting soul soup songs
metaphors and similes
in dark dusty closets
long library books
with wordless pages
meanless and mean
thick tongue devils
feather words
and apologize
from broken pages
while word winds spin in the windmill
whirlwind electronic
sound bites
blowing us up like
stiff balloons
up into the clouds
and back again.
