another humid day

sitting naked
the overhead fan
circulating the air
on this
another humid day
in Istanbul
I wonder
briefly
what life is like
5000 miles away
where I once belonged
in another life
on another planet
in a country
so unlike
the one that exists
today
where people
I know and love
wonder how
life once imagined
started slipping
away

  1. Hope you put some clothes on before heading outside! Unfortunately, I grasp the why and how America is in the sad shape she is in today. Greed and lust for power rank high up on the scale of reasons (doesn’t matter which side of the political aisle). ‘North of Richmond’. Plus, far too many Americans have been lulled into thinking the government can take care of her people better than they can take care of themselves. Sad to be witnessing her demise.
