tired

time has wasted me

dimensions skewed

nothing straight

sudden implosions of
people spaces
events
into my private places

sliced vision
hevy legs
arms
head

beds never enticed me
for rest
but now

time has stretched
me too long

today
dig deep
words as mud
deeper
mud as language
thrown about
without a sense
of truth

here’s bigotry
dressed
in a different skin

here’s racism
in its coat
of many colours
that run
in the rain
of tears

here the enemies
of the enemies
of the
enemies
of the people

tired of this
doesn’t even
cut it

post-truth
post-apocalyptic

scratch
words bleed
