Geneologically
do i have images
of hank rearden
floating through my head
when i think of how
she depicts a tall thin man
set in his ways
and unflinching
and quiet
no, i don't think you're him
i've never felt that way toward you
but maybe i want to think
that these ideas
can exist
somehow
in my family
and maybe i'm geneologically related
to these ideas
