Stackable living hackable lives On top of each other like bees in a hive Inside a box hard corners to know A neighbor above a neighbor below Stackable moments fractional lies The walls serve two masters invasion implied All differences measured in bedrooms and floors A blueprinted nightmare its maze underscored Stackable meaning the truth wearing thin Its elevator stuck stairs covered in sin The higher you climb the farther you fall Stackable living —the death of us all (Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)
