< walking to the border >   (Twitter mashup)


        
"i run into a store to hide        
 and i see a man        
 holding a dead child        
 and the soldiers are coming        
 and someone yells        
 but he does not move        
       
 and later        
 it's night        
 and i'm sleeping in the woods        
 with my wife        
 and between us        
 is a child        
 very much alive        
 that she found by the road today        
       
 and later        
 it's day        
 and we are walking to the border        
 and a woman        
 begs us to help her        
 bury her husband        
 but we refuse        
 and continue        
 walking to the border"
