Human capital is
cast aside at the first
inkling of uselessness
like useless animals
backpedaling on the
slaughterhouse belt
useless baby chicks
crushed and gassed
then ground to feed
their mothers
a useless grandmother
after a week in a tub
full of water
the wound on her
sacrum softball-deep
almost to the bone
the wellness check
an afterthought.
