on crises and repetition (elizabeth macklin)

"There is no way to peace
Peace is the way"--A. J. Muste.

There is nothing to be said
beyond the facts
and, This is a disaster.

In another language
the word soon
rhymes with disaster.

The word for corner
as in everyone is cornered
also rhymes with disaster.

Then there is the part
where slow is slow,
and faster is only faster and faster.

- "In Another Language," Elizabeth Macklin
