Reclaiming mind against the dictum

Charge your phone on a hill

In an art park

As a public health crisis

Echoing siren on the unseen boulevard

Below in the same arrhythmia

Undiagnosed at this moment, personal nationalism

Corporally broaching my subject

On a predicate’s edges

To fall like I am jumping

Into a retweet about

Rock-bottom healthcare

Not the specialist I am, no

Bespoke regicide hotline

With a high deductible upheaval

Electing for broken electronics

I will schedule therapy once

Played еnough quartets of snark

And I plant by bare feet

Far from my intial thoughts’ street view;

To see now

All mеtaphor unbecoming
