When cholera threatens a nation or troops open fire in the rain

I just wanted to spend my afternoon announcing the poetry acceptance I woke up to and then finishing my film review from last night, but instead there is armed sedition—terrorism, treason—at the Capitol and I had so much wanted the stoking of this violence to be like the specter of a shooting war at the polls in November, all talk. I have not wanted a shooting war. What I want is this obscenity burned down and the earth where it grew salted and then burned over again. What I want is an actual democracy to survive.

Once this is all over, Congress needs to appoint someone to follow Trump everywhere he goes, constantly whispering in his ear "you will go down in history as the worst president ever".

The prospect of a future stable enough to support the appointment of a memento felare* is very attractive to me right now.
