I have that creepy-crawly feeling that I can’t place why.

I would try to talk about it, but let’s be real:
You’d say “it’ll be alright. it’s probably nothing”

See, last time I saw the saddest, most gullible insurrection, with few consequences.
(they’ll do it again)

Before that, I watched through a traffic camera shitloads of tear gas and non-lethal projectiles flung at protesters.
(church pew cold; bible upside down)

Before that, Covid started, and the entire fabric of society changed.
(it still is)

Before that, Pigface got his throne.
(he won’t leave.)

Before that, a big money collapse.
(vengeance is a joke)

There was that time two buildings turned to ash.
(it’s always too soon)

The first time was those angsty white boys laid waste to their whole school.
(it’s regular, now)

So, this time, I must be calm, and brace for more.
(how much?)

How interesting are these times?
(wow, I am so fortunate)
