of unsuspecting dark-skinned citizens
marked by the scars of a history denied

For Tamir Rice, 12

And there were penalties for...

Mine Mean Mien, Hence Deserved Cross To Bare

onset of hands-on schooling
fraught with narcissism
a role I lept in unaware
with slim success
unknowingly portending how fatuous

with theoretical strings attached,

And her step dad was a raging alcoholic

Hartshorns' Silver Moon Grass
They write in the language of perfume
flowery powdered words all layered
colours rising and lowering
in different light spectrums
as if the reader could discern
without wisened translator
their seductive dimensions
conveyed within
their small larger other worlds

Whirling Wheels
Listen! Here come the horses,
War machines, a myriad of forces!
'Whitewash', the white horse, is first,
Those deceptive words rehearsed.
Peace as a pretense to conquer,
Glossy until he grows stronger.
'Butcher', the red horse, unleashed,
Civil unrest and sword unsheathed.

Mine Deplorable Shenanigans Trumped

Into the Woods
I stand neck-high tall
within the quicksand
of my infirmities.
Green and gaunt,
I hesitantly genuflect.
Ravaged tendons and corpuscles
are barely breathing
within the vacant corridors
of a soiled carcass.
My ardor for vindication
has been abandoned.
I presently refrain from accepting
the consultation of

Of the consequences of their actions.

If You'Re Hapa and You Know It
Hendecasyllabic Alliterative Pseudo-rhyming Abecedarian
Artfully arranging all attestations
Breathlessly bringing bright beautifications
Carefully constructing clever contraptions
Daringly, dauntingly delving deductions
Eagerly, easily ending extractions
Fancifully forming flirtatious factions
Gustily grasping gigantic gradations
Hazily having harsh hallucinations
Instantly inking imagined infractions
Jarringly journaling jacked judications
Kindly knuckling...

When Deniers Stoke the Fires
When we start off
one rarely realizes
all the true scientific

of our original acts
When we hear the key
click in the car's ignition
we know it revs up
the entirety of the
auto industry complex
When we go out
