Working the War

Something they didn’t teach in school, during wartime, people still need to work.

When Dresden had four thousand tons falling from the clouds,

Lil’ Ennio was still in the back of the sandwich shop putting cured meats onto bread.

We think of these times and the weight of weights collapsing the ceiling of heaven

We imagine being crushed with amalgam of steel, gas, revenge.

Ennio was only imagining of a time when he could get his hands on some prosciutto.
