it was a beast that woke me
a violent sound
scream and pound
on wall or door
a monster kills my neighbour
so urged my amygdala that i grabbed a bat and went
into the night
a giant policeman saw me
so sorry he said
we have him in the van
a man
today the news is grim again
economies collapse
more deaths more fighting
the future is frightening
we nice and civil sorts
we're dead
soon
