stuck MAG
September 29, 2014
television turned on.
click, plop, sigh.
polar bear in a blizzard.
stuck in a snowstorm.
can’t change the channel.
– can’t see the news.
snow showers outside,
dreadfully dreary and
dripping with despair.
sticky clumps of slush
plaster the dead grass,
dead leaves,
dead earth.
wrapping them in a white blanket,
like a hospital blanket.
– is she wrapped in a hospital blanket?
I don’t know.
I didn’t know.
I still don’t know.
