Without selective compassion

We’d go mad in the streets

Outside of bubbles

Things get deadly

 

Well-designed products

Reassuring labelling

Consumed without drama

H&M, IKEA, Aldi’s

 

But the Guardian’s front page

The NPR story

The man on the corner

Doubts go on hiding

 

I see you tomorrow

I hold you closely

While that figure in the window

Goes wanting
