A poet writes about a neurological scramble that occurs when following a news development obsessively.

I don’t know how your Saturday night is going
For my part, I sought some future forecasts
From a source who is helping with evacuation
In war-ravaged Ukraine
I asked him when I could find a new boyfriend
A new job, will I ever get married?

I often consult 25 year olds
They can infuse energy and hopefulness
As a teenager, this source wanted to join the NDA
He secretly prepared for it
But when the acceptance letter arrived
His mother tore it into pieces
Did not let him leave her shadow for public services
So my source got in touch with his source
And they exchanged some voice notes
About my prospects
