New Poem: LOS ANGELES FIRES FOUND POEM

 choppers coming through one after another

 the relentless attack from the sky makes a difference 

 we wish more sky support happened Tuesday 

 >

 the 405 remains open

 heed the evacuation orders

 people are prepared for this moment

 we are in an unprecedented time

 (above crafted from KCAL and Spectrum 1 newscasts)

New Poem: THE BURNING OF LOS ANGELES

 immunocompromised me

 staying indoors

 running air purifiers 

 watching TV news coverage

 the reporters wearing antismoke masks 

 the reporters choosing not to

 so they can visibly emote 

 and perhaps display true empathy

 >

 future health be damned
