entertainment
divorced from engagement
issue

But,
consider the following
a hypothesis,
a Thought Experiment
in the Indigenous MotherLand
and SacredWaters
of ecowomanist political theory,

Part of my own experience
betrays a rightwing bias
against superficial entertainment

And, by association, self-promoting entertainers
living out shuttered

As it heads t’ward Capricorn
When days and nights are in equipoise
And slight chills happily born

I heard something on the wireless
As i went about my day,
Some new strain of virus
In some province far away.

Riding tides since creation
Unfamiliar sensations 
Looking back to see my face
All is void black filled future 
Ignorant of our true nature 
Riding this wave of confusion
Feeling the ripple effect 

I cant defect this mold
Thick as...
