Censoring a Seven Year Old
What’s wrong with a child creating
in comic book style their own villains,
and heroes armed with guns. A n d still the teachers teach
to be civilized you must not color
outside the lines
as if all folk are m a d
some are merely young and have droplets of water
that bubble at the corner of their lids
Can you hear the comic book shriek
as it is torn in two?
A child’s heart breaks imagination is tabled a magician
saws it in half.
Shall we send all graphic illustrators to the gallows?
