Debt
I confront two daily enemies:
the imposed voraciousness of this life
& those who succumb to it
willingly
the lambs and their dumb pastures
everything is soft + edible
being made delicious
silver lining: I won't forget
but I will die
America reacts not to what but to whom
In the background
a long time class arrangement finally blooms
and I can speak Italian now if you don't ask me anything
