Swallow election anxiety
like tea;
feel its ant
hill teem, its nit
specks cling; watch it nix
your calm, axe
your peace, tie
you into a zillion tiny
knots, with no exit
so just breathe into the anxiety.
Susan Vespoli lives in Phoenix, AZ where she works a couple of jobs, writes poetry and prose, which has been published online and in print. These days she is breathing heavily into election anxiety.
