“ Falling “

Falling off the map
brain zapped dioramas
of refugee camps
hidden behind steel barriers

disruptive arching struts
galumphing over chucks
of horrific hunger
mind numbing
blank-faced skulking
punishing outcomes

shouting out loud
downcast outcasts
sporadic strobe
lights flashing
harrowing accounts
overmatched...
