when
success
sounds
like
the
cackling
of
an
old
woman
dragging
a
clanging
metal
garbage
can
behind
her
,
thinking
she
has
found
her
loot
finally
,
when
really
all
that's
in
there
is
a
murdered
man
and
a
crust
of
dry
bread
...
when
love
tastes
like
chapped
lips
and
wind
swollen
cheeks
holding
a
cardboard
sign
begging
for
work
with
a
look
of
embarrassment
in
his
eyes
but
a
source
of
hope
in
his
heart
that
maybe
his
family
will
have
a
little
meat
come
winter
...
and
when
truth
smells
like
old
leatherbound
books
set
out
to
burn
in
the
village
square
because
their
knowledge
is
no
longer
useful
in
this
galloping
world
, musty,
dusty
,
waiting
...
only
then
is
when
we
know
we
are
truly
living
in
the
same
world
as
all
the
rest
cling
