fifty word newspoem 1


public opinion
polls  pulse
like fireworks
bombs busrting
chemical balloons

refugees vanish
into buses
like refugees

because it is organized
and we did not organize it
we call it genocide

meanwhile on my street,
signs written in international symbol language read
“caution fleeing people” and we get used to it
