…i hearya loudnclya 
that strident
“i’m doing everything i can”
is wearing thin
even those inflated buffers
of conscience
you regularly deploy
as ploy
asif i
need to bounce off that
spongy morass
so yo ass
can be covered
every which way from here
to ivy league tranquility
asif you
can press that shutter
at the exact moment of deepest descent
to say
“see? i was there for that dissent”
listen – i get it
somewhere on that cv
you need that entry
for concientious objector
except
yesterday you forgot for a second
what
you were objecting to
and turned to me snarling
“this guilt trip is a sham-man
i’m doing everything i can”
and i hearya sista
and i seeya
