Rhys Langston Barnsdall, March 2020
Reclaiming mind against the dictum
Charge your phone on a hill
In an art park
As a public health crisis
Echoing siren on the unseen boulevard
Below in the same arrhythmia
Undiagnosed at this moment, personal nationalism
Corporally broaching my subject
On a predicate's edges
To fall like I am jumping
Into a retweet about
Rock-bottom healthcare
Not the specialist I am, no
Bespoke regicide hotline
With a high deductible upheaval
Electing for broken electronics
I will schedule therapy once
Played еnough quartets of snark
And I plant by bare feet
Far from my intial thoughts' street view;
To see now
All mеtaphor unbecoming
