they being the pundits,
the collectors
of numbers,
the farmers of polls that one
in three
residents of this northwest
city
are mentally ill,
struggling with a variety
of emotional issues.
Portland.
half abandoned
empty
with the poor and homeless.
divorced
from a real world.
i get it though.
the dark green, the endless
rain.
chasms of blue.
the wind off the sea.
the cold shoulder of Canada
leaning in.
who wouldn't be?
