What a sad spectacle
seeing hordes of people
amid riots
breaking into
department stores

for Tamir Rice?
for Freddy Gray?

to keep the secret of her lover,
how she cut him open then stealthily walked...

Nothing's child will digest, rest dead inside me
A plead or two, violent rages ignored
What did her smiling eyes mean to you?

Dear humans,

I am an octopus and I’m unhappy with how you humans think you’re so great.

With anyone or anything,

And fishing really made his day.
The time he spent on LBI
Imbued...

Drunken fights
I had a bone to...
