Museworthy: Suffering, Related to 'Ownership'

Museworthy: Suffering, Related to 'Ownership'

Privilege —
someone else's suffering.

What I should have
refused

before I needed
to give it away.

Sing Your Heart

Sing your heart

Don't wait for news
from the outside world

Ferris wheels and
the cries of armies
won't fit in your chest

Like the little secret will
