Sound the alarm, get an ambulance, ready a statement: for reactive critics, for the OCI, for the rest of the back end In these museums to living history, lined with the artifacts of threat, risk management is a precondition for every colour of self-defeat Mandate piled on mandate, verdicts stacked high, dust-covered and time-worn, signed by solicitors general and bound by library services A mounting legacy of heroic solutions and failed actions that can't be normalized and interpreted away - used to placate all the lives shamed and denied
