Jeffrey Dahmer as Epigraph

The body was made soft

to keep us

from loneliness.

~Ocean Vuong

We all seek meaning in histories

Told to us. A monster dead six years

After your birth, how did you learn

The tale of him? A picture book

On cannibalism and loving someone -

a stranger really - so much

You need to consume them. A

Place where role models

Take shape in whispers

From a full freezer or

Brutality on the correction

Center floor. This is who

History allowed out to keep

You in. This is a meat

Truck and shame hidden

In the cloak of the midnight outfield.
