Defamatory: Deafening Rumpus

Bad news
Split the air again like cannon fire,
Making a mess of
Thoughts and emotions;

Protests of unfairness booming out everywhere,
Accompanied by perceived cracks of thoughtlessness,
Hearing it popping all around
And tired of enduring this regular disturbance,

Stared into space for a while,
Resembled concentration practice,
But probably not
The best kind,

Subsequently restlessness took over
And forgetting for a time,
But then remembered
And started fuming all over,

Simmering like a pot on a hot stove,
Flustered and blustering,
Trying to muster some positive action
To counteract this negative distraction,

Finally settled on
More laundry
And cleaning up
The kitchen,

After stowing some clean laundry,
As was straightening up
Found some good news
That I’d gathered

About helpful vitamin D;
Resolved to get some of that
And see what good (if any)
That could do me!
