For a Political Friend Who Politically Accused Me of Having My Apolitical Head in the Sand Politically
Lawrence Hall, HSG [email protected]                 For a Political Friend Who Politically Accused Me             of Having My Apolitical Head in the Sand Politically                      Our lives no longer feel ground under them                            -Mandelstam, “The Stalin Epigram” I have no illusions I have no solutions I have Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump                     (And occasional basal cell carcinomas) I can be silenced in fear By their suicide sides But I have a brain                     (“…an ill-favoured thing, sir, but mine own.”) And so to them I am dangerous If I am noticed at all
I think "The Stalin Epigram" speaks to most of us.
