White Noise By David Ralph Lewis

When my head is full and overflowing

with endless online arguments where

everyone is an instant expert;

with ceaseless competing clickbait,

and a plague of media bristling

to shout so many unproven headlines;

with wails and screams that rise and fall

mixing with the all-pervasive sirens;

When the world seems distant and immediate

I listen to the wise words of the wind

and allow it to rinse me clean.
