Disenfranchisement, Differentiated

disenfranchisement, differentiated
splits tree trunks in half
despoliation at home, in bed
left over from the vote,
left over from the voices in my head.

we were lying when we said we Can.
turns out, we can't.
and that's just how it is.
lifetimes of accounting,
	columns and rows
of sins and salvations,
redemptions and repudiations,
lovers and enemies:
there's a party in the Hinterhoff
and everyone is there.

why don't i care?
