    Then when they need you, your “hard working Americans, White Americans…”

    But when they’re done with you, you melt away into the mountainside, or crumbling graffitied wall, or their kitchen counter…

    Those two lines explain much of the world.
    You’re so skilled with words, applying them with surgical precision, dissecting the body of a dying society.
