protest was

we’ve come a full 350
because full 180’s
are fraught with

The Vast Inland Empire Sea
the answers to life
used to be found at a bar
in
downtown spokane
one stool from the left
third one from the middle
just behind the russian tall ship

Graveyard of Empire
there are children in this world
who survived
madeleine albright
there are children in the homeland
who politely refuse
to pledge their allegiance

push back
or be incorporated

the
different ones

where we’ve

Conflicted
signs are trending
trending
are the signs

Abound
reminders
are all
around
all-around
reminders
are
around all
are
reminders
reminders all
are
around
all are
around
reminders
around reminders
are
all

Covet Thy Dimness
staring out the window
waiting for darkness
unlit
waiting for darkness
staring out the window
