Thanks for adding the footnotes. I knew only two of the references. Reading your notes and then rereading the poem worked. Very powerful, terrifying in fact because these events do happen. You’ve really captured that mindset perfectly. I don’t get the “Mrs. Jackson” reference in regard to Michael Jackson. Still, you’ve left this reader zapped.
