Trauma

2021: Duality Presents Its Case

by Dianne Hammer

I write in my head

On my way to pick up the dog,
overshoot by a mile, lost in thought:

I compose four years

2017
TRUMP Stress & Fear Surreal
2018
Sex ASSAULT Stress & Fear Surreal
2019
Justice Pursuit COURT Stress Fear Surreal
2020
Covid-19 PANDEMIC Stress & Fear Surreal
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, pretty shitty
Poor Me

In the shower use all the hot water,
lost in thought:

I compose four years

2017
Rocked 50 Marched Most Fit STRENGTH
2018
Adopted Wiggling-Wagging Love  JOY
2019
Created mountain HAVEn     PEACE
2020
Found my Voice     POWER
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOO

Yeah, I see.
I’m Lucky
I AM

OK

New Year’s coming
2021
will be
what it will be
what it will be
and
WHAT I DO.
That, too …
