Love in the Time of Waco

A goat on a ledge is always safe
& precarious, unless about to be kicked
or there is a large unavoidable boulder.
Nothing short of catastrophe can keep us together. Would you mould her?

In the compound, I imagine the people
to be Amish, & feel ashamed. I wonder if Koresh ever played Tetris.
We watched the compound burn. Because we watch things burn

there is not an insignificant chance
that we will set something on fire
for the viewing pleasure of others.

We welcome stories about cults because we are relieved to outlive one doomsday. There are buildings on fire, now.
