WHAT’S NEXT?

Gaza massacre perps shout their right to murder;
piracy for everyone else is fighting terrorism for them.
Gulf leak still leaking as yet another attempted solution isn’t, as far as I can see.
and empty apologies to improve the image,
cause “image” is everything for old BP
Taxi driver in UK goes postal killing twelve
while closer to home the burbs seem like a free fire zone.

Hurricane in Central America
many dead there and massive damage
in the countries that never seem to get a break.
Then the micro and stalls on the bridges
and the congestion rush hour on the street outside
my window.

The Flyers win
and the umpire misses the call in Detroit.

My morning coffee is fine
and I shouldn’t whine
or outrageously opine
and the day is cool tonight for Jaz’s show
and the only choice is what to wear
and what color the flowers should be
and the remaining line of tortured text,
and what the hell.

What’s next?
