I know better

when sleep evades
hooks snag me
checking headlines
I tumble into hell

migrants harassed,
detained    deported
cruel wars
cryptocurrency
that man
and his henchmen

first faint,
the alarm now shrill
shatters the spell
laptop shoved
onto the shelf

select a slender
book of poems
settle in
carried
to a kinder world
