A Stay

Against the

Darkness

Jay Snodgrass

You are not

the reenactor

You are not the

conventioneer

You may not despoil my

reconstruction

with your perfect

pitch artifacts.

You are not

my mobi-

lized

You do not obtain

uranium

You are not

the wainscot

or the centrifuge.

You are not

authentic.

You are not

anachronistic.

You are not the

bludgeoning

pads of after-party

This jurisdiction

does not

exchange earbuds.

You are not the

swollen campaign

carrying suitcases

of burlap.

This parade

you will be

victim to.

Stay they Darkness
