my tragic #harmatia —
not cherishing
when I was adrift
her greatest gift
that could shine thru
the #prism
of my dark matter
inverting
my dourest views
creating
the deepest hues
but I was in want
of a beauty
to hold
too blind
to her light
my superficial soul

A woman is like a #boxer
fighting an eternal fight
with the usual contender
when she is ready
to admit her #harmatia
the new generation
shows her
it is not boxing
but Lucha Libre
the young woman gets in
to take her turn
yelling to the contender
"Stop guilt tripping!"
#vss365
Though it took her years to see
She now laughs at the irony
Of runner up at the spelling B.
Oh Cockiness
her tragic flaw
A story for the ages
She got the word
#harmatia
But skipped studying
The h's.

Political anxiety dwells
in America's frail heart.
Fabrics of safety are torn
and weaved into silver
for those already
swimming in gold.
A cowardly congress
bows to a despotic doll
that would eat them alive
if his mouth willed it.
We toss our #harmatia
and stand upon satellites,
screaming.
