The Vice: Politics in the USA
Published in
Nov 6, 2024
opposing forces
turning the screws
telling me one thing
and the other another
Lies
turning and turning
more and more
emotions squeezed
can’t break free
pressed
like sour wine
from spoiled grapes
perceived hangover
of a fateful day
confusion
grabbing for my vote
unwilling to share
imploding
from the inside out
politics
can’t make up my mind
reason stifled
not making sense
turning and turning
the vice on my life
Patsy Starke on the 2024 presidential election 11/5/2024
