Tonight's Poet Corner: I Feel Attacked

I Feel Attacked

by Belinda Roddie

for once
just for once

I'd like to feel
not so called out

by the memes
and the tweets
and the white text

on black practically
shrieking at me

like an overbearing teacher
or familial vigilante

reminding me
that this is me
and I am part
of an overwhelming swarm
of desperation

thanks, Hugh Morris
