every day my friend asks me
how many days.
every day my answer shrinks

willing ourselves to believe in light and truth and good
but can't help whispering
how many days left until history is made?
how many days left until safety?
how many days left until not?

they: shout misspelled arguments in all caps send soldiers to peaceful
protests yell into microphones turned all the way up shut down dissent
