The rain makes static on the windshield’s vision.

Sirens come.

Indecision.

I curse the failure of my safety boots,

E-vapes,

Ford, and

the 2024 election.

Democracy,

clutching a teddy bear,

a judiciary nightmare vs.

a dreamer’s invention.

    1. Very much so. I feel powerless to make change, but still compelled to try.

    1. I feel like I’m watching a balloon get filled in slo-mo, and can’t cover my ears for the inevitable pop. I can see why so many people choose to look away.
