he then asked, “which to get rid of?”
i took a deep breathe
my hands started to shake

Just then Santa flies by under a helium balloon

Thousands of miles away, my drums beat with America -
the ear drums as much as my heart rhythm: news of abuse
A mild term for what some (a minority, surely) police do
When they can get away with murder, or "crucifying a man" -
But when I am called
