After Ilya Kaminsky and Mike White
And when they deported immigrants, we
protested
but not enough, we opposed them but not
enough. I was
watching Season 3, around my couch America
was falling: amendment by amendment by amendment.
I took a spritz outside and watched the next episode.
In the endless month
of a monstrous reign in the house of distraction
in the channel of distraction in the podcast of distraction in the For You page of distraction,
our great country of distraction, we (save us)
needed to know who died.
