Fascinating. But I admit I am confused; too many swirling motives here. Aside from the central bread theme, I'd be happy if you were to clarify

"the order of things: a dog, a made bed,
a centerpiece, those million, no, billion lives

saved for some use I can't imagine - to trip
my hands, maybe..."

Who are these billion lives? a country? a nation? just people? not even human? who saved them and why?
