Long Outlawed Poems

A man takes a bath in his tired apartment

Another day
Another mass shooting
?Another incident
of domestic terrorism
?another gun man

With their noxious
Poisonous weasel words
?The NRA says
Mass shootings? 
Are like the weather
?You can’t control them
You can’t predict...

but raised by the State,
alienated offspring grow into bastards,

Yolanda and her Singing Saw blade

I warned you about Mother telling her stories.
I warned you,
but you wouldn’t listen.

I warned you about the magic
of golem and djinn,
about lilac walks 
and mysterious circuses.
Stranded mice,
abandoned mice,
runaway mice,
unexceptional princesses,
all fodder for the worst sort...

For the land of Middle Eyed Bong,
To raid the Salted Peanut Trees,
Of King Pod and his merry throng.

Dare to plunder with motley crew.

Where did the quality of 
life go?
We were on bicycles,
jumping rope, eating popsicles.
Who cared about dirt?

We threw our body into
pools with nary a care.
The elderly with canes, just
harrumphed and gave us
watery, cataract stares.

With nary a...

What does a young naïve Christian think
When a hooded desperado storms a prayer room,
His scary presence quiets the praying tongues ,
And his outlawed round replaces hope with doom?
