She Finally Lets Down Her Guard

She turns on the tv: Death smiles back at her again, Cannily, comfortably. The face of the so-called expert on the tv screen Suddenly breaks into a ferral canine smile. He is momentarily bug-eyed, His tongue lolls As he laughs along with his fellow so-called Experts appearing on the warmongering, corporate, Mainstream, so-called news-gabfest panel. In another world, it would, just as easily, be me there, Would, just as easily, be almost anyone, Instead of this all-too human man, Shamelessly running, for cash and fame, pitfalls against Humanity, through deadly cathode trees Invisible for the deadly cathode forest.
