Image for the poem reconnect

reconnect

something i have yet to mention
last i saw my sense of connection
it burned down in an election

during my trip of need, back to New Hampshire in twenty sixteen

the bumper stickers made me wonder
in favor of plowing Hillary under!
pouring gas on people torn asunder

defective memes, darkness up their greasy sleeves

cancel all reliable sources
surveil with sneaky snoopy forces
beat up refugees from horses

film you having sex with a kid, claim it’s something Bernie did

our selected house of lords
they’re mostly posture whores
a symphony of dis-chords

their well paid screech - won’t let it get the better of me

this is a story of reconnection
regardless of ghastly, gaslight elections
being vigilant at soul retention, i can take a little rejection

i won’t go on a spree - won’t help create more misery

with a director’s vision
i’ll mise en scene through our divisions
an angry mob with washed out opinions

their dark & dismal scene, spray it liberally a verdant green

in the final act we reconnect
it’s what nobody on earth expects
a surprise ending with 3D effects!

will you consider joining me? the glasses are absolutely free

Author's Note
in 2016 i spent a month back where i grew up in new hampshire. it was march into april, and i was crushed to see so many insanely angry bumper stickers regarding the upcoming election. it was bigger than 'hillary for prison.' the country had snapped. i disconnected in a deep way, finding it hard to have patience hearing nonsense repeated only because it had been repeated ad nauseam on faux. reconnecting is a kind of mission now. there's nothing i'd like more than to promote tolerance. it's funny how hate can pull you in, even just resisting it.
