One spoiled child of
martial impunity, and
our own ill-bred ditz,
the lads have brought
one step further than
they may ever be able
to survive. What will
they not bring down?
It is everyone's task,
it seems to me, not to
but to remember their
authors as foreseeable
accomplices in shame,
and wash each other in
restorative remembrance.
There are fragilities
of trust and contradic-
tory strains upon con-
viction, in being spon-
sors of a nation state
sheltering an ethnicity,
to end the terrorism of
ethnicity, which every
day are open to inter-
nal betrayals by hubris.
These, they give us to
see, and not deny. This,
these flies of the Lord
Possibly, the extraor-
dinary scandal they
precipitate before us,
may hoist the scaffold
to their common folly:
arrogant aggression
and racist meannness,
on the most saturating
scale these two states
have hosted in 3 gen-
erations, may dissolve
in sweet ablutions of
electoral response.
How fair's the tide?
