A DEBT

Te bank is empty. A cluster of birds live there. Te birds are all gold, but they can fy like dollars. Tey are lawless birds glorifed by all our poems. If you look closely at the ones in the corner, some of them have human lips.
WHAT IS MODERN
VICTORIA CHANG
Mass graves are modern. I caught up with the future, the metal trees are silent as they wait for us. Te future isn’t modern. It worries it won’t arrive.
