day SEVEN HUNDRED and FORTY EIGHT


like false kings growing fat on the corpses of children


a different assassination in a
later century, but
the idea remains the same

history written lightly in pencil
in case the
names need to be changed

one small step in someone else’s
idea of the right direction

you invent a cause, and then
you figure out
who needs to die for it

--John Sweet
