Trying to avoid thinking he counted
instead
ample precedence for this mistake
soft answers
theologians distinguish the qualities
of the unknowable
divided nation
richest supported fiercely by the
poorest
ugliest oligarch masks as democrat
tribal values clan corn stalks ratty
barns
all the way to the horizon
this is the day of wheat the day of
chaff
in the shrine one candle burning
salt shaker shattered on glass top
table.
