(Poem) A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I’m wondering if they’ve closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it’s “keep your children home so if you die, you die together” — Instead of “we’ll open back up once the plows have cleared” it’s “we don’t know if we’ll be here tomorrow, so hold your babies tight.” It’s just “talk,” I’m told, which I’ve been told before. “It’s how the president makes his deals.” But I’ve never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I’m not certain I can look my son in the eyes If we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: If this Is what we call leadership then I’m not entirely sure ours isn’t already dead. Michael F. DuBois

Someone should read this into the congressional record.
