from Unsafe
electric enactments
& contractions
first on cattle & then
in camps, camps they
entangled & snared
in wars: Boer, One, Two & so forth
each iteration more intense
& sphincter-like contracted out
to architects & engineers
in the camps, camps
entangled & snared
it is testament, as in testes, as in testosterone, as in test
to make static
to immobilise, in a military sense
to design & follow
a procedure, always a procedure
orders, in an order
& that procedure in this case being Americaâs Homestead Act
& that procedure being the wire as assailant, as asterisk
& that this asterisk was emphatic
& that this asterisk was both legislative & actual
& that this asterisk was intentional & genocidal
