" Mangled Haiku "
by Suzán Jiván
I
Finding diversions
after all the apathy
collective numbing
II
Equally depressed
straight to the general fund
as mangled corpses
III
Repeated trauma
deliberate distraction
just a learned response
IV
Debt-limit stalemate
all or most of the money
into the hacking
V
Recorded carnage
decapitated body
the face of horror
VI
Trauma, impotence
wrong doing at two tabloids
buried in mass graves...
