It pays to be on the outside.
Upper stories. Higher ground.
Not an involuntary canary in this coal mine.
The early warning signal to get out of town.
Pecking with a stiff-jawed clout,
Jumbled, garbled nonsense
is all that comes out.
A sympathetic parlance,
in televised thoughts and prayers.
This status quo is kindness,
with its extended hand of refuge, love, and care,
for the right sort of price.
