Punk musicians who overdosed in flophouses,
and child refugees who died in the camps,
and American soldiers killed in Afghanistan,
they pass each other on the worm-eaten staircase,
some shambling along, others racing up the steps,
but just about all of them sneakily whispering,
“Has anyone found T***p’s soul? Anyone?”
