blaring the loopholes
the out-of-body, walk in me
a lost remuneration
birthright apocalypse
paved roads with chalk signs
hours before we left
for the station
the Tupperware rice
went stale inside a crowd
a bus we got off
a fear of stampede
Warehorrors of the giant waves
sea level rise and a lost home
no going back where you came
from no matter how much money
you carry in your pockets,
no way to buy a past long gone
