in the middle of negotiations
deal me in
it’s simply a matter
of time
before starting
to win again
nearly overnight
all the colorful ties
turned into a quilt
as far as my
recollection is concerned
none of them are mine
I’ve not received
a single dime
out of nowhere
suddenly
rapidly
donations arrive
it’s as if people
stopped caring so much
about themselves
march two thousand twenty-three
