Y'know, one of my favourite poems has always been Alice Notley's At Night The States, which always seemed to me to be about the cruelty of grief under capitalism, how your world has ended but you've gotta go to work. I'm coming to understand it's not just loss of a loved one. https://t.co/u9sBc6dT4F
