Driving Valentine

I’m often sitting waiting
for the panic to catch up
with me always just one
step behind its stalking
what is the greatest
experiment still not
acknowledged
even as a prejudice
in the world this enduring
hatred of poor people
virulent Poorism I call it
goes back to the beginning
mother of all metaphors
embedded in wars
I mean who kills starving
women and children
as they were fleeing
the bombs?
