We are now curve & data masters
without knowing facts –
figured at
numbers –
daily counts of death’s
call ups are left to stew
[in charts]
as bills fatten on less & less
[living
is such an expensive thing] –
these
ways & payments are near-normal
& nearly accepted –
no one rises in
revolt
[we are tempered by screen
time] –
these days pass as cooler shadows
