spitting seeds
I woke up this morning
angry again
from reading the news
or better said
angry hearing
strong opinions
from people
with weak
understanding
they say most folks
get their news
off social media
which can be
like piping sewage
into our homes
so our neighbor's nasty
starts stinking up our place
... which doesn't happen
with watermelon seeds
we spit them out
and they don’t come back
too bad politicians
ain’t watermelon seeds
writing this on paper
helps me spit out
my anger
but unlike eating watermelon
nothing sweet
stays in my mouth
but sometimes
fruit grows out of
nothing
