2015 & still today!

I have a horror
                             hangover:
a surfeit of tv news dribbles
                             repeating
the images and words -
                              addictive
and numbing.

To look away, to change the channel,
I switch to a story of plotted 
murder, where the killer
is named and blamed
and hunted and destroyed -
and it’s over!

When I can’t resist tv news glancing again,
the crowds are still
raging in the streets.
