" Transformations "

Transformations
in dank doorways
of fractious neighbors
being harassed
feeling intimidated
armed and dangerous
reframing equations
via military training
and inflammatory statements
from presidential candidates
in must-win states
spoken prior to debates
to be televised "live" on cable
underscoring broadcast limitations
of artillery-altered landscapes
like hidden cities in vast regions
with rare figurines of infertility
"ice-free" defying "the easy"
well within proximity to jet streams
of public apologies
polling nothing like a "good cry"
pushed off to the side
while bullets fly...
