approach, insist
we can learn from
this activism
the very apparatus of prison,
its foci
as active participants in flux,
your fifteenth birthday
suddenly viral,
escaping control. Yes,
reframe
with clear-sight
those particular
enormous ripetides
which can be allowed to flex;
conversely
which are integral, which
need to hold firm.

can individuals
and communities
emerge
with grace more-or-less intact?
