Question:
What is the difference
between something veiled
and something given?
between concealed
and revealed?
The answer
is always: I'll know it
when I see it.

Betrayal
used to be grounds
for rebellion;
now,
it's pure pleasure—
a fetishization
of that which pre-exists;
evidence,
perhaps, that even
moments of possibility
are rare
and therefore coveted
in a time of great
recession.

You say you want more proof?
Look up—
In this high-
traffic area,
state-of-the-art
security cameras are always recording,
but nobody
ever has time
to watch.
