Problems riddle
honing in
on deeply
embarrassing practices
cementing
a major shift politically
with crackling
rallies of activists
as chanted backlashes
championed
by drafted parents
without awareness
of puritanical pasts
still grinning for pictures
on black-and-white film
whittled down in one sitting...
