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
