Declaration
A simple declarative sentence
this is not. Nothing
is simple.
You sit down to your hamburger
at Bob’s, and they’ve forgotten
the ketchup. Then you notice
the homeless man
at the window.
You want to declare
your disgust with the system,
your brotherhood,
but what he really
wants, you don’t have
to share. In fact,
if someone
has to lose, you’re glad
that you're winning,
for now.
Is this how to run
a civilization?
