poem – Broadcast From the Brain Radio

I’ve noticed
When some celeb dies
I first think,
“Another
“One who’s managed to escape
“These terrible times.”

–7/24/25

I count out the syllables
For each line’s meter. I pull
Language for each one, unforced —
Of course — as best I’m able.

That guy you dumb asses chose
That we all want to depose
Doesn’t care about a thing
But snorting you up his nose.
