i get screamed at whenever i articulate in any way

that hope is a neurological response that moves

us forward even if it is rarely based in the mechanisms

of reality

get real, i tell them which is when they often opt for

internet attacks that are, themselves, not based

in reality i have no idea who they are talking about

i am told

that ingratitude is unforgiving and not what their

community is about i also do not buy the kool-aid

rhetoric community is community an argument that

drives these people

fucking nuts

i live in appalachia it’s in the south where hate

is yet bewitched

you either go with the mindless status quo or

you end up with

the vengeance of a jaundiced eye

then, YOUYOUYOU do all the appearances in hospital

waiting rooms and the waiting and the waiting

for the lamentation that is death

blood for blood, your hope is a stupidity your outspoken

mouth sings approbation i could fail again and they

will not be back to hang their heads in disparagement

for which there is no answer for and all that’s left

will be the euphemisms of closets where incrimination

and blame are torments in the cracks that keeps

the wind away
