SHOW
IT’S A SHIT SHOW OVER THERE!
cackling co-ed intones Trying to write a poem
Steel-grey day pre-christmas light 17 gunned
down at a playground Bunny Friend Park 9th
Ward New Orleans yesterday Dead +maimed
celebrating with Po Boys 12 inch southern sandwich
crawfish or couchon merlitons+hot sauce

It was yesterday too that a five year old I know waxed
specific about what he’d do with all of his money: I’ll
buy a jet +some guns +shoot everyone who teases me
Tiny tormentors weighing heavily
Radicalized at 5 by gun-toting media-minions Homegrown
super-hero nihilists coming to a playground near you A descent
into de-socialized mayhem But what if you had a teacher who
applauded you for living beyond the frames of violent video games?
Opiate for the masses of children
2 brothers of Daesh 1 blown to bits in his suicide vest the other
dreaming of guns+planes+grenades +Brussels Today in lockdown
as lone brother relishes the silence of his final daydreams His parents
hope he is killed soon

When the shooting finally ended there was a deep silence. Dr. Hefez
unfolded herself from under the table. What she saw was boucherie –
butchery. “They were me. The same hair, the same shoes. Just girls,
going out for a night on the Canal St. Martin. ( Dr. Louise Hefez 30 yr.
old survivor Paris terrorist attacks November 13, 2015)
