culture
subsides
divides
correlations intertwined into—
knowledge
lessons learned of ink
and page,
a stage so
absolute & yet
abandoned as
oceans of education
drain
a stain—
stain in
history

equality still fantasy
dreams kept
safely out of reach
prosperity?
prosperity becomes—

becomes a
wall too high to
see,
something we (the
people of the
almost united states)
call:

HISTORY.
