Six (American) Sense(tenses)

Nationalism is not knowing your nations complete history.

Invited to the party, they indulged, the Others watched in famine.

The teens all sneer at the lessons that keep them in lockdown for too long.

Put away for later, only then noticing more than one could need.

Single mother carries more, her cold shoulder avalanche of envy.

Insecurity is taking a shower with a spider.
