Toxic State

Smoke from newspapers, streets,
schools, politicians......is making
my mind blurry. Screenshots 
of my mind look like a battle-field;
a fight between my thoughts
and others' thoughts. I am under
pressure from inside, like a cigar clinging
onto its stuffed smoke......

Excellent Teddy. I think we are all struggling with a bit of anxiety right now. Very good piece. I like a poem that says something and this one has a message. Good luck in the contest. God Bless, JB ps. I've been away for awhile but am back now. Doing much better and the doctor gave me an all clear. Cancer all gone and not coming back. God is good.
