That to amend presumes breakage
That everything here has already been touched by someone
That to become raises questions of circumstances
That the written word promises nothing
That being the case That considering That whereas That therefore
That debate is profitable That time is debatable
That any hole may loop That any loop may hull
That someone’s freedom presumes someone’s enslavement
That surplus presumes shortage That presumption supplies scarcity
That zero sum is only aftermath That afterlife of subtraction
That battle– fought– won– lost– That treaty– promised– printed– violated–
That ceasefires do not cease fire That original war struggling forward
That history begs me to remember it as a dream That I wake up to the same nightmare
That I live landlocked That I still see the sea in the sky sunlit cerulean
That hope at the borderline That hope I rewrite That hope or That hope or
That I fear That divinity That strength That vast That taste of saltwater
That increasing cost of fresh water That melted That plastic That contaminated
That I remain skeptical, worse, pessimistic of law That I remain, skeptical, worse, pessimistic
That I became raises further questions
