50.
yet another modernist longpoem
to ward away oncoming night

sweep · peripheral
blur · candycanes

glow · LE PURDI
POI SE CNITA LE RIRXE

the closed captions on court tv
write "realities" when the judge says "realize"
no doubt the auto-complete's first suggestion
souls twisted by malice
& intellectuals for hire
will perjure on demand
i turn from this whole bookshelf
fresh air fresh air
so much energy poured
into not sharing
into not seeing
into not saving


what could have still been saved

could have still
by the light of a burning constitution
