father and son
lie peaceful together there
tourists crossing the land’s largest river
was there a shiver?
or did it end like a big nap
peaceful resting sighs, and final goodbyes?
drowned in the sound
in the noise
abstracted away
who’s to say they ever existed
to anybody in the first world
beyond the quick drip drop
quiver on social media
they die under slogans
and breathless arguments
whether they matter
