ROLL
HEADS WILL ROLL
We are learning a lot about beheading lately
A staple of the Crusades still practised in some
parts of Europe during WW II Preferred by the
most prolific execution state in the world Saudi Arabia
currently beheads in all murder sodomy & witchcraft
cases
Why humans even use it as a method of trophy-gathering
often on a massive scale We have also collected scalps +ears
But the head is best leaving no uncertainty re: the victim’s
identity Groups such as I.S. eliminate any semblance of the
quick+painless beheading using a short knife requiring
prolonged sawing
This week police in Australia mounted a counterterrorist raid
foiling a plot to behead random members of the public Mubin Shaikh
security officer infiltrated the Toronto 18 terrorist cell He said:
You have the same types in Canada
Now in addition to standing against the wall in subway stations I hunker
with fear everywhere Drawing-in my head like a box-turtle especially
when hulking men walk close My throat still exposed not yet in winter
turtlenecks
Yesterday I heard Ray Boisvert former assistant head of C.I.S.I.S. say:
You can’t really ensure that this won’t happen in Canada it’s not a question
of hiring more police +getting more shiny toys The advantage always goes to
the attackers
As I write this a navy blue squad car drives by back seat filled with metal cage
I notice the tip of an automatic rifle poking through I am now intimately
acquainted with automatic rifles since the manic replay of: a 9 yr. old girl
killing her instructor at the rifle range His 4 children in an open letter wrote:
We forgive you It was an accident We hope to meet you someday

We have time to grow old. The air is full of our cries. But habit is a great
deadener. At me too someone is looking, of me too someone is saying, he
is sleeping, he knows nothing, let him sleep on.
