Overload 1

Overload

Too much, too many
things to process,   
to adequately pursue.   
Shootings and killings,
Political wrestling,
domestic and global.   
Elections and 
over the top ads.  
Troops at the border 
with razor-wire and guns,
throngs of desperate people 
with nowhere else to turn. 
Republicans turn on each other 
(is that, perhaps, good?) and 
Democrats are asking ‘one last time’ 
for money—every day. 
Sexual harassments are 
a commonplace, and 
college football is the new football 
to toss around in conversation:
a good metaphor for a world   
obsessed with offense and defense. 
Offense is winning.
