a day later

it 's late now
too late?
only history
or those who claim
to make it
tell
the dream
formed on the strangled bones
of the firsts
salted with tears
of the afters
consummated by wealthy landowners
necrophiliacs mostly
all property owners are created
equal
well
sort of
was
is
a lie
always

not to say
that
imperfection should be
abolition
simply
starting with a
startling
falsehood
is a strange way
to start a
relationship
and the legacy
bequeathing
this
our sacred
honor?
