we take turns
original poem by mjNordgren
haiku
lingering anger
with talk-over-anyone
our non-listener
blame un-game
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren
wrestling with pique over restrictions
and weariness of exile
mumbling, fretting, whining among ourselves
deciding we are put upon and liking victimhood
we attack
but who - in a pandemic - deserves to be blamed?
