I dreamed a group of us
were kidnapped by a pair
of sociopaths—
they explained they were
conducting an experiment:
they would blind half of us
in one eye and half of us in both
to see how this would affect
our ability to love.
When I told you, you said:
That’s just a dream about
the leaders of our country.
Later, the owner of a tea shack
handed us an X-ray of a broken foot
and gestured at the half-eaten sun.
