Corn Chips

The word emergency reaches through eons and radio, lunges out animates the print headlines travels with humanity through time and trades like currency with social media Always reassuring us the world is about to end or someone is to suffer ill fate or that all civilization will be stuffed in a crate across the grate Of commentary started with the invention of a twig scraping sand becoming the drawing on the cave then pen paper typewriter and touch screen Shrill with the solemn silence of suffering, genocide, natural disaster detailing what we see, smell, hear, taste Wanting to or not when Gazing into the soul of calamity. But I had no idea then and still do not feel or understand your pain over a corn chip emergency.
