hunger // hung as excess // twenty-one frames // all men // all white // but one //
black man // still // starving // positioned behind a desk // hands overlapping on
the table // in front of him // the entire time // a camera // the flashing of light //
sweat // then dark // pouring out // positioned like he is parodying power // when
he is power // still // his hands on the table // hands where we can see them
