maybe it will come down to a number just like before,
but nobody's standing around with a gavel
your clothes didn't fit
the ones that I tried on
the ones that you wore
bury the shit in a twelfth page attic
time isn't profound, by itself, that you've known
it can't crumble and shake to break the foundation
yet things fall apart at the behest of a few
or when good men watch and do nothing
stand down, it can't make us healthy
what has been traded for calm and for us?
