Puddle Thrashing
red, white and blue --
too faded pink and pastel blue for you
a fruitless journey of a life misdirected
you sit for an anthem, hat on like
Holden Caufield, ready to take aim --
snipe ignorance on social media
in a post-modern world of
internet warfare where
cancel culture shaming forms opinions
from the shallow pool of ignorance --
formings about the feet of the frozen
who cannot swim to save themselves --
from a puddle of rhetoric clinging
father taught you in the wading pool.
in this sea of life, you are cast adrift
with other capsized passengers
in floaties, drowning in virtual waters.
you could close out the window,
go home. but a new family lives there now.
