A chain-smoking corporal stoops to examine
the drowned prisoner’s upturned soles. Measurements
are taken. & thus David Wojahn has found some content,
another web search satisfied – prurient, calculated, cruel

And look! look! look! I think those little fish
better wake up and dash themselves away
from the hopeless future that is
bulging toward them.

Lord, if I say Bless the cold water your throw in my face, /

if I ask you not to kill my friends
- Franny Choi, Catastrophe is Next to Godliness

my body is its own crumbling /
country, if I say I am always /
my own home--then /
what does that make me?
- Erika L. Sánchez, A woman runs on the first day of spring
