what will you do when
the actor is gone?

how will you smile when
the clown stops dead?

who will you be when
the firebrand cools down?

where is the passion when
the artist shuts off?

how will you dance when
there’s no pulse in the music?

what do you celebrate when
the party is finally over?

we’ve covered our shame
with blankets of expectation.

when they asked us for help
we gave them a cage
if they prayed for asylum
while brown and dirt poor
we tore them apart

we changed up the rules
to hold the longer
watch over them too
a petri of hate
stem cells of pandemic

the deaths will hit quick
and bodies piles rise
a reckoning will grow
as graves dot the hills
where memorials will go

a satchel of sadness
slung over hunched back
slogging on home

snivel nose running
wet sleeve to wipe off
misery and snot

breadth of step-back
self-inquisitive look at
sorrow and self

wake up shining
and do it all over
depression kicks in

Election drumbeat…
uncertainty and fear reign
Where is Moscow Mitch?

“They’re taking our jobs!”

turns out you have to apply
we can’t just take them
