THIS SIDE OF GAME

The world has shrunk. 
Have sex in half-black 
bipartisan calculations. 

Ripping apart, 
no body was naked 
inside the costume. 

I was too wakeful 
under the ventilator. 
They were killing me methodically. 

It was theatrical. 
White gowns and blue gowns. 
Only miracle was nude. 

This was an endless pit. 
Young boys had learned 
to rape.
