to which you devoted
such attention
and the guts of many an hour
and so much forfeit innocence!
Before these programs curdled
their dead eyes still fixed on you
as their non-degradable
hypnotic
            literalism
as a corpse cools and congeals
cooled and congealed
            that happened
if you’re lucky.
For to count such losses
even to conceive of such 
damage
is the work of sanity at least
I think

as is the sadness.
