Uncharted waters
lap a tiny well-worn beach
made of synonyms—
unprecedented,
because we are younger than
this old wind blowing.
When will fresh breeze dry
this fluid situation with its moldy fruits?
And it came to pass…
Yadda yadda yadda, yup.
Exceeding usage.
Right angry barber
spits anti-protest tirades
at naked noses.
Swell to call it war,
marshalled in our rearward homes,
streaming rations. Charge!

Nice! How about the word “CRISIS”!!
Noted, Wayfarer 25. Especially when it’s in all caps. Thank you.
Me and the word ‘crisis’ are currently getting along. And I hope it stays that way, because crisis is an awesome word. Speaking as a poet, I love the way it sounds and the way it looks on the page. Let’s hope overuse doesn’t get the best of it.
