29 JULY STILL

IN JAPAN THE WORLD’S LARGEST ROBOT IS BUILT TO THE SAME SCALE AS A ROCKET TO MARS

TAKING SMALL STEPS FOR SUCH A GIANT 

THIS KIND-OF-MAN STILL HAS NO HEAD    

VLADIMIR PUTIN THOUGHT HE COULD ARREST THE LOCALLY ELECTED GOVERNOR WITH IMPUNITY

4000 MILES EAST OF MOSCOW ON THE STREETS OF NOWHERE CITY  

CONSTRUCTION WORKER VALENTIN KVASHNIKOV 

STILL STICK THIN AFTER HEROIN ADDICTION

LEADS 50 000 PROTESTORS    

SOUNDS LIKE A RIFLE POINTED AT TYRANNY  

UNTIL HE’S TAKEN AWAY TO THE POLICE STATION

COMES BACK HOURS LATER  

SAYS HE’S TAKING A BREAK FROM PROTESTING

ADEN WAS ONCE THE LAST OUTPOST OF COLONIAL COLONELS   

TODAY’S FLASH FLOODS RECEDE AS QUICKLY AS LAST MONTH’S   

LEAVING BEHIND TONS OF RUBBLE   

RISK OF CHOLERA

COVID-19   

CONTINUING CIVIL WAR

AND PEOPLE STILL SCOOPING DIRTY WATER OUT OF THEIR LIVES 

WISHING THAT WHAT HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE WASN’T STILL GOING ON TO THIS DAY 
YOURS TRULY
