Lockdown
Sleep tight
Don’t let bed bugs
Crawl
Onto hands
Over eyes
Into mouth
Don’t talk
Don’t eat
Don’t worry about
the bill
Coming due
Before the piper
finishes his rounds
And around
And around
The media spin cycle
hyperbolic
angst machine
Switch it off
Tune it out
Until tunes are all
the static airwaves
are good for
