trying to prove
our tradition of rockets
little models amid their
celebrants
the quotidian as a step
rejected
shelving all laughter
with the wide grin
of the explosions of Guy Fawkes
extension of time and
the human spirit will always
spend it protecting against refuge
gifted such an extension
(as myself)
human beings will always fuck it
by play-acting the squalor of arrival
a year ago
the protests began to
occupy the space
a refugee from Ukraine would make
when the press had gone
forewarned
of strange commemoration
on the flat planchette
they make a strangled
extermination cage
rattle
at the surgeons
of Gaza
