The (Department of) State:
Cares about status;
Cares about poetry;
Is destructive;
Cares about destruction;
Gets the message;
Goes home;
Every day;
Works on the weekend;
Live in the Continental U.S.;
Craves the streets;
Craves everything it can’t have;
IS the warning;
Is zero information;
Is–Christ…
What a long drawn out mission.
No more longing,
No more illness,
No more anything.
Just the colloquialism.
Just the natives.
Just exhaustion.
