New Poem: ANOTHER STATE OF OUR NATION



we luxuriate in insulation from reality
confident of being too rich and/or too white
to suffer from separation of families,
raids by police or ICE,
imprisonment in various kinds of holding areas
once known as concentration camps
>
we don’t talk much about impeachment 
in our crisp four-dimensional suburb
except to regard it as mere gnat buzz
because it’s more important 
to complain on social media
that Robert Pattinson as Batman
or the final season of GAME OF THRONES 
should be overruled, nullified, invalidated
while the dangerous President 
is allowed to finish his term
>

reality doesn’t suit our lifestyle
