and America\u2019s in love<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0while America\u2019s bleeding<\/span><\/p>\n

our heroic reflections<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0slipping out of their mirrors<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

for a well-deserved smoke break<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0to laugh at some dead person<\/span><\/p>\n

because we know everything<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0year of post-sincerity<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

vengeance trumps your grief card<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0and elections are pointless<\/span><\/p>\n

with time and age comes their trust<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0so there\u2019s no point in trying<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the day you stop believing<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0nothing\u2019s worth believing in<\/span><\/p>\n

then how can i get to you?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0do you even want to?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0my hands transparent and paperish<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 no mess to mark my existence by<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0just making a bed someone forgot to arrange<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0editing myself into somebody\u2019s bylines<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0and like how you learn to live<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0people learn how to live with you<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0all your conditional gratitude<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0all you can give while you can<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0all your romantic hysteria<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0ah, hysterical us, always gazing<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0into the eyes of strangers we could never have<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0through the eyes of strangers we could never be<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
