Beast Brutality
by Mary Jo Bang
The caption read,
“He and she standing quietly next to a dog.”
The prompt queen sat with her crown on,
The insets between each Gothic arch providing a measure
Of what can be
Done with architecture.
She said, “We built it long ago.
And then we knocked it down.”
And then she looked away.
“And then we looked away.”

I really love this. The commentary echoes, pre-echoes, reiteration. And how “We built it long ago.
And then we knocked it down.” can mean so many things, from the institution of marriage to an institution of insanity. Same, same.
