i don't know why they removed me

from the politburrow. it must've been

the moles. all i said was that i don't think

the hospital and the mortuary should tie up.

i also used the word neoliberalism for it.

but before their digclaws could convict me

i lost my conviction. as you know

and must've intelled the burrow by now,

my body is a history of all the places i've lost

my conviction in, a geography of all the safety

nets that sometime resemble a dream.
