lifeinpoetry:

They will eat fruit.
They will feed it to their children.
They will feed their children
to America: it will eat them
and then feel sorry
but never apologize. Not even
by faking the moon landing,
which we all know is fake, because
man’s first words in the face of god
are always forgive me.

— Kate MacLam, from “Man and the Moon,” published in Waxwing
