You can long for something
desire it
maybe even covet it
we are a ‘things’
culture
possession is nine-tenths
of being American
Now in a time of plague
our pestilence
may truly turn out to be
ourselves.

Ouch. Truth sometimes hurts.
Yes, it does.
Good structural change and an honest underlying message that, in these times, everyone understands.
Thanks. Much appreciated feedback.
A simple message, undeniable truth.
Thank you. Yes, sadly is the operative word I had in mind – but only after completing it.
Powerful and very true!
Thank you.
The lines “possession is nine-tenths/
of being American” so cynical in the best way possible.
Thank you. I like that – ‘cynical in the best way possible.’
Well played!
Clear, clever. Love that wry voice of yours, Mark. There is humanity in it.
Thank you.
