    October 20th

    The temperature has dropped,
    the constructs have vanished,
    and the woman
    the lab assistant’s been seeing
    will not return his calls.

    He shakes his head, saying,
    The tensile strength
    of the bridge cables
    will not hold
    if the vibration continues
    at these unprecedented levels.

    How will it continue
    to function, he wonders,
    if the party in power
    channels her resources
    towards some candidate
    of unknown potential?

    Only the victim, he says,
    ear to the ground, will know
    and only after speech
    has failed him already.
