Wartime Deaths




What is this war about? What are these deaths for?
Certainly not a stretch of land, nor a belief, nor a freedom.

They will have died for our understanding:
the days of America First and Brexit are numbered;
the planet is too small, too small for separations

now that a man who sneezes in China can fill the hospitals of the world,
that a face mask in Tehran can just as surely save American lives as Iranian.
