The Unnatural Abhor a Vacuum

 

What Happens Now to Kristi Noem’s Warehouse Jails? - The Atlantic

 

With their chatelaine gone all those warehouses

Sheeted in corrugated iron under the summer sun

And encircled, festooned, with razor wire

Stand empty in the desert, waiting for – you?

 

Their industrial disassembly lines

Scientifically designed to rip away lives

And lest they rust away from neglect and disuse

There must be bodies to feed into them

 

Starving on thin soup from stainless steel bowls

And pity the guards – who are starving their own souls
