Description
Under constructionFrom a disease that’s going to kill us all
Cancerous youth among those
Who claim immunity
To the idle silent killer.
We have lived alongside it so long
What changed?
Sudden success.
The administration foils us once again
Steals our glory and our money
And leaves us
With a box.
But no ordinary box
It’s got character
And creativity
Waiting inside.
Its depths
(Which are not-so-deep)
Are filled with
Laughter, tears, blood
And mystery.
Jump in.
Feel the tidal wave
Of imagination
That compels you
To fill the space.
(But you must
Load in
And load out
At midnight.)

It's so much fun to read your poems twice (once for the words, second for the under lying complexities that are bound to be there). Great job, and I know how you feel. Darn you administration!
