RACE |
49 Harbinger 45 (2024) |
Bodies crumble Folding into fists. Each limb independent in theory But dependent in practice. Each second that passes I walk several Miles within. With untied laces I take off Running out of time. Limbs stretch Reaching into my mind I keep my back straight. Each vertebrae in my spine Are fragments of a distant past. |

National security has become normalized--a touchstone invoked to justify governmental policies and fiscal decision making. It represents power exerted over virtually every aspect of our lives.
