There is an itch here

THERE IS AN ITCH HERE

There is an itch here

Right behind my eyeballs

Yearning to be scratched

Invisible

Filtering my sight

Vision

Colored

Crazed

Itching irrationality

ITCH

I see the world of work

see drones

Unhappily serving

faceless profiteering

upward syphons

ITCH

I see the media

propaganda wheels

crushing

self-care

into self-harm

ITCH

I see anti-social platforms

branded the opposite

isolating

people

algorithm idiocy

ITCH

I see art and design

denigrated

denied

defunded

debased

ITCH

I see people

shredding self-esteem

to comply

Advertising’s perfection myth

Unwelcome intrusion

ITCH

I see better

for have nots

swallowed

by

status quo

of the haves

ITCH

ITCH

ITCH

There is an itch here

Right behind my eyeballs

Yearning to be scratched

I love to write in a moment, and I love to write for you, so please leave me a prompt in the comments – a word, a sentence, an image – and I’ll write you a little something.

Also, sometimes, my writing helps someone I don’t know – I can’t predict or plan for that, and I’m humbled when I hear it’s happened – all I can do is ask you to share my writing, and increase the chances that it gets to the person who may need it.

Thank you for reading, as always!

Love-Peace-Trust
