“When we were desperate or hopeful
or deluded or embattled enough to go for help
we went to people with letters after their names
and prayed that they might have read the right books
that had the right words in them
never suspecting the terrifying truth
that the right words, as simple as they were
had not been written yet”

“And now we don’t go to priests and doctors
and people with letters after their names
we come to people who have been there
we come to each other
and we try
and we don’t have to die.”
