How do we protect children
from a world — so inflictive
How do we prepare children
for that world — once protected
How do we keep them out of the vice
of this paradox
How do we ... How do we ...
— how do we

Skinning The Cat
Losers are drawn
to authority
Like moths being lured
to the flame
Curiosity killing
more than a cat
