we dug our sorry burrows in the face of apiration. and drug our children through the faceless depths of integration. how i long to kick one chuck-sole of dust in the eyes of my former fling, to blind her and lead my faceless children past the path she was fingering.

"Integration" and your children makes this about schools' racial integration. The rest makes it about not letting go of the '20s.

I know what you're saying. "Integration" is what needs to go.
