oh shit:
as words escape the throat,
the rapid fire of racing tracers
continues until one is jammed;
the hissing president, once grand,
becomes a hanging, whining note;
the smell of sulfur tickles noses.
it’s time to send the cleaning crew -
no time to stop and smell the roses
fast sinking in the rising crude.
a leggo chopper takes away
the casualties on display.

oh my! I can see how this would be a nightmare, for many on this planet. You have spoken to many groups of people in this B. regardless of whether or not they can see it.
The only thing I'm confused about is the "leggo" chopper. I'm quite sure it's something obvious that I'm not seeing. Leggo is also a brand name.
I like the grit here. Iron fist in the velvet glove and all that.

Bad dream! Stop watching so much TV news! My dreams got better after I stopped watching the news. But just kidding, this is a good write...
