AI Interpretation
The speaker describes little sun, asks how many crosses will stop blinding people, names a scapegoat made by promises and accuses someone of no longer feeding the muskrat.
The speaker joins a complaint about light and crosses with a small act of neglect. The page reports the speaker's accusation, without identifying the addressee or proving the writer kept a muskrat.
The poem says 'There is not alot of sun down here', wonders 'how many crosses / it will take to not blind us anymore', notes 'There is always a scapegoat / when you promise things', and ends 'the muskrat anylonger'.
Promises, blame and neglect are set in a dark place. 'alot' and 'anylonger' are typed forms.
