Today,
in and out,
around and around — chasing
the American chase. Chasing
The Story Of
Us.
Listening to
how we are, how we
got here, how we
got to
today.
Learning from this
why I put my teeth
together
and hum/holler
scream/grind
every time
We congratulate Us on
doing good,
even when I know it’s good
being done:
it’s because I know
there’s always a catch
and a pool of blood
somewhere
that no one ever
cleans up.
