Hanque O . . .

Such wonderful juxtaposition:
the fam watching another fam on tv.

On the coffee-table a brochure
for a backyard fall-out-shelter.

A time of ineffable interior tranquility
and inexorable fear without.

If your qualities included white skin
and a cock, the world was yours.

Or so you thought. No, the world
was on the cusp, is still on the cusp.
