when the government institutions
fell apart
when the jails ruptured the police
departments and hospitals ruptured
they
were turned into Walkaway-style co-ops
people helping themselves to what
remained and then helping others
somber
Gretyl told her son She’s been away and we haven’t seen her in a
long time. We love her.
Jacob was seven
We love her. Jacobs parents said
said Gretyl and Iceweasel
so uncritically unconditionally childishly Jacob
loved Limpopo too
childishly
innocently
as these concepts are slowly
erodedas children havent the luxury of being children any longer they are forced to access more than their
immature brains can either absorb reckon-with or humanely facilitate
childishness and innocence are unwanted
the childrens
elders want them to be as critical as they are corrupt
and they insist and insert conditions
and clauses to be met
theyre wrong
plants grow in their time insects and animals grow in their time
when natural things are
forced theyre stressed they become ill they are not resilient deranged
when we naturally self-construct
when our selfish parameters of
course they are are met and fortified by those who love us we in turn know and can love
we love because slowly we have been
shown and we acclimate to what love is
sometimes our love deftly defiantly
hurtles over and beyond precepts defined by others
they insist forgetting they are they and not us
and demand our love is not love and
because it is un-natural to them we should overthrow it
and because they leave us no
choice
we overthrow them
or try
