I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

i'll add to my dreams the courage to reach out and let it all shatter. i guess until then, i'll have to keep being less real than imaginings; keep up my faith.

for too long; and thereby in that way,
each dream became just as unreachable as
all the stars. peace between nations
like peace in my home. burning the world
like one log in my hearth. knowing all things
like knowing myself. love for all people
like finding one love.
