Didn't - Couldn't - Wouldn't

by Chris Sorrenti


Didn’t watch or
listen tonight

Like Justin Trudeau
and Chrystia Freeland
here up north
I can’t stand the
sound of his voice
and the sight of him
makes me physically ill

Couldn’t watch or
listen tonight

Will catch the highlights
tomorrow morning
with hopefully
a knockout blow
settle this once
and for all even
before November

Wouldn’t watch or
listen tonight

It only ends up raising
my blood pressure
and never was
into self-abuse
and as much as I’ve
come to hate politics
the show will go on

With or without me in
the front row

Your poems almost always make me check the news lol. Hopefully some heartening news in the future.
