rattling around every window sleepless thunderstorms

the harsh light reveals a wall of crumbling bricks and mortar

super bowl steam rising from a bowl of chili

condo searching realtor suggests blinds to block the view of the gas station

ready for change the green ice melting on the pond

groundhog day overshadowed by politics

bigly cold social media jokes but I'm not laughing

Poverty and Poetry

my march hare madness saner than your acceptance

turtle's lost shell the fragility of exposure

don't tell me I'm this when I'm that

the burden of more worlds stooping my shoulders

subtraction politics don't complain just deal with it

spring promises for winter grass and dead leaves

poverty and poetry if you don't see it it doesn't exist

time doesn't heal and I'm not okay with it

oil exploration and exploitation enough fuel to fire the world
