Safety

Chris Tonelli

                          The capacity
for two lives. 
The inability
                          to choose.

                                           When a myth
                                            induces faith,
death—life’s safety—
is removed.

                       A wild gift
in a
tidy package.  

                           The boner spam    
I get at work.
