CHALLENGED
Like all criminals
I am arithmetically challenged
cannot count up to,
never mind beyond
20,000
so many integers missing
fractions and
decimals
buried under the rubble
so levy your articulate accusations
against me
that I am
chlld of darkness rapist
animal in
league
with the Devil
go through the text, this text,
if not the eighty-odd
closely argued
pages
and we shall see
before Heaven and Earth
whose soul
is damned here
awaits
historical damnation.
