It is also included in my upcoming book, October.
October 20th
The temperature has dropped,
the constructs have vanished,
and the woman
the lab assistant’s been seeing
will not return his calls.
He shakes his head, saying,
The tensile strength
of the bridge cables
will not hold
if the vibration continues
at these unprecedented levels.
How will it continue
to function, he wonders,
if the party in power
channels her resources
towards some candidate
of unknown potential?
Only the victim, he says,
ear to the ground, will know
and only after speech
has failed him already.
