On screen today, B movie
Life with constant distractions outside my window. An acrostic poem
Drawing blinds to avoid Peeping Toms’ volumes
I live in the shadow of a B movie on the screen ; sensationalism
Sexual orgies, sci-fi noir horror
To account for traffic raiding from behind
Reciprocal revenge, raging rave, echoing enormously
Argumentative voices shouting over slamming car doors, engine rpm and idling at critical point
Circulating the same triggers
Too rowdy and too insane ideas to be taken seriously
I can’t concentrate, words get lost
Only writing should dominate here
Noise nuisance obscured by mutated idiosyncrasies

NAZIS IN AMERICA
In May of 1945, amidst the collapse of the Third Reich, high-ranking Nazi engineer Wernher von Braun reached out to the US government, aware of his strategic value due to his role in developing long-range ballistic missiles. Von Braun's proactive approach highlighted the beginning of Operation Paperclip, a covert initiative aimed at recruiting German scientists to the US before they fell into Soviet hands. Over the course of 17 years, Operation Paperclip facilitated the relocation of over 1,500 German scientists to America, disregarding their Nazi affiliations and potential war crimes.

Blossom
A dead past does not put a halt to a new future. A year later, Kaffy, a highly intelligent, creative, bookish, and preppy Nigerian-Canadian 15-year-old girl was released from juvenile prison. She was arrested and charged with petty theft and assault, and was sentenced to a year in prison. Her sentence was supposed to be 6 months for stealing a lollipop, a chocolate bar, a pack of playing cards, and a bag of Cheeto's cheesies from 7-Eleven, but she received another 6 months for kicking, punching, and hitting another female inmate across the face during an altercation in the canteen.
