this time is passing
strange
as the earth, the sea,
& the sky
invisibly dis-
integrate.
my country is,
at once, a
bully & a
liar.
my workplace is
consciousless &
fundamentally in-
competent as
amerikan companies
seem to
be
& the cancer in
my blood may
be flickering into
flame.
denial detaches
from this
world––
i want to grow
roots.
