ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AS A METAPHOR FOR THE UNENDING STRUGGLE YOU ARE TO ME AND I AM TO YOU / AARON SANDBERG

I hear
the shuffle
behind me
and my

thumbs slip
under your
garrote wire
and we

trip each
other to
the floor
where we

scuffle, dumb,
fear in
our four
eyes—forever. 

AARON SANDBERG / SCHAUMBURG, IL

Aaron Sandberg is haunted by his memories of the future from childhood. He searches for symptoms of privacy in his private browser. He fears his writing will write him back. He makes desperate promises to the God of Broken Promises.
