the less important

The less important

Every TV channel carries
The same news is as it is sent from a news source
Central Trump is good, and is Putin bad
And no one asks about its verity, it is just read
by some lovely people who look sincere.
I have been overcome by angst, it starts from
the inside going out
My skin is grey and pale, and sweat drips on
My T-shirt.
I should know, but I can`t find the source of
its conception, but I try something about
eyes and in them I read surprise at the oncoming
I saw him fall
heard the crack of a broken neck
Walking away, nothing I could do but
stepping over an inert body and into boisterous life
