New Poem: THE TAYLOR SWIFT JAKE GYLLENHAAL RAMBLE

 she made records he made movies and they got together and she was an old soul when it came to business but young enough to still believe in love as something that mattered more than mere material for song lyrics but he was ten years older and steeped in the ways of the world as he saw it and when the breakup came he apparently said something about how the age difference made a difference and therefore he was okay with leaving and it crushed her like a pomegranate then she turned heartbreak into no ordinary end of relationship song but made a film about it and sang for ten minutes on SNL with audible grief of youth still real and ever-present in the thirtyish woman telling fans don’t walk down this particular path if you don’t yet have self awareness and especially don’t give yourself to a man who may regard you as no more than a mere trifle

New Poem: KYLE

 boy of 17 with no impulse control, all fired up

 all too ready to spray 80 seconds of bullets

 now on trial with an adoring judge running the show

>

 consequences, what consequences can there be

 for this killer child who hitched a ride 

 in the flatbed of the virtual extremist pickup truck

 rehearsing his fake ugly cry for mainstream media photos

 >

 jurors, heal some of America’s wounds

 send Young Master Rittenhouse to prison

 don’t let this terrorist win
