New Millennium Anthropocene

Diversion is an epidemic
and confidence howls in the mist
the storm sweeps away the swing vote
umbrage over the freeway

Like a sleepwalker at recess,
I strike the honeymoon
confidence with phytoplankton.

Millions of wetlands are five-starprosperity
mercury savors the sea.

What’s the story?
The metaphor of cardinals ‘
the blackout of bread and circuses
impress the polygraph
gold never lies but transitions
in portholes from sunken ships
buried in Bethlehem.

From the decanter, I drink
the hush and decompress
while waves wash over
broken bottle sea glass.
