In These Times Janet Kuypers (adaptive poetry 09/26/11, where all bold lines are titles from books listed in the Chicago Underground Library catalog) In These Times Have you learned to Enjoy Yourself Under This Cover when everything is only People vs. Empire In These Times I only think of Somethings that don’t ever help with my Altered Ink In These Times my Thoughts are in a Stream you want Another Story? Well, In These Times they’ll tell you this is only Good Medicine but In These Times I’m Not Just Another Pretty Face and I’m Glad I Look Like A Terrorist these Other Voices give me One Part Honor But more importantly, Proof I exist In These Times it is no longer Yesterday When I Was Younger... I needed the Slate to keep me strong I needed the Marrow coursing through me I needed it
