Fifty-nine takes pleasure in opposing Instruments of undeclared oppression, Fantasies of normalcy sustaining The brutal oligarchy of possession. Yet art is ever more than mere expression. Nor does she mete out history unwilling, In hot pursuit of media attention, Nemesis of who would show discretion Even with the hogs on children swilling.
