\nGive It Up<\/p>\n
Electric bubble gum popping
\nThe wires all open ended
\nGasoline and sparks
\nThe trains don’t run here
\nIt’s too flammable
\nUninhabitable
\nA Chernobyl wasteland of what used to be “pride.”<\/p>\n
Sludgy and thick
\nBattery acid crackling of ulcers
\nWhat you could’ve said
\nshould’ve said
\nSpilling over
\nMelting through your plastic suit
\nThe radioactive quarantine of what’s been kept inside.<\/p>\n
Clear out the rot to make space
\nCut away the decay
\nAnd ease the toxicity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
