Words

[my response to observing behaviour on twitter /X]

Fractals of emotional baggage

flood the threads and reposts

of vicious and virulent fear mongers

nay-sayers, light-blighters, way-blockers and

hysteria makers.

Where do all the words go

when you let them loose

clamouring to be heard?

Angry words, snapping on the sidelines,

Impatient words, running red lights,

lost words, lying in puddles

Pre-fixes, changing nothing.
