sketch for luring a 'slave' (2)
"ms. mack " told her 'now go be a good slave.'
(nyt.6.8.19: A10)

this is albany, new york
2019--this is not
daenarys freeing the slaves
season 3 of GO.T., and that's
a fantasy--or so they say, this is new york,
our mega-meta progressive state--

ms. mack, an actress, on 'smallville'
going thru a 'rough patch' hooks up w/
keith raniere the founder of Nxivm--
("pronounced nex--ee--um")
a "self-help group" as she is feeling
low and so is nicole who she recruits--

masters and slaves--by choice--
where are we--
the mind, my mind, what there is of it,
not so much boggles, as folds,
and sails a paper airplane
thru air to

where to alight?
hold?
