abuse. My mind changed.
I go into the
booth knowing the past, making
the future my choice.
Super Tuesday looms.
GOP, Dems cast votes. Dub
ya – ya won’t be missed.
Ibuprofen my
food. Robitussin my drink.
Illness my altar.
I incubate germs.
Feel their heat warp my head, their
chill shake my body.
Snot blocked mucus jammed
sinus pressure. Every breath
a pulse of pure pain.
Her face fronted a
movement, a magazine. My
mind’s jaw drops in awe.
A stranger’s link love
Validation, valentine
all rolled into one.
Computer in safe
mode like reading Dick & Jane
after War & Peace.
Dawn the breath of a
new day paused when night exhales
sunrise dimmed by fog.
