what do you get when
everyone becomes
desensitized
he didn’t ask to be born

that little boy
born to a dirtbag
who was born to a dirtbag
who was once a little boy
who did not ask to be born…

I feel like a guillotine

you do as eye do
see what eye see:
one school shooting
creates another…
one head stomp
will stomp again…
this is what I’m talking about:

If you believe this is sure to happen:
Is peace – right now – your enemy?

What if it all explodes,
the universe inside
pushed through
its fragile shell
overwhelming
all that exists
above the big hole.
What if bricks fly
like leaves in a hurricane,
cellos burn like straw,
fingers napalm
lips paper.
Will you hail the second coming?
nine was was
September 11, 2006
It seemed a time of respect.
Skies were skies,
no chalky lines
of manufactured smoke,
only birds and clouds and flags.
Terrorism
was not yet entertainment.
Guns and cleavage
had temporarily disappeared from the screen.
Reflection and restraint
seemed a collective value.
Never to return,
we lived briefly
in the peaceful eye
of chaos.

How to be a devil – a participatory poem by agnes, jca, liquidquick, qazse, and twitches
August 27, 2006
wear a cape
look as if you can fly
wear gold and white
appear to be the main man
file your horns so they’re sharp
maintain an exotic sexual allure
accept first-borns and blood in your contracts
supernatural predator or REALLY bad sunburn?
write a play mocking god, cast yourself as lead victim
take the realm between realms,
littered with miracles
and poorly thought-out science
that forgets home,
theirs, yours-
heavenly court
with your secret throne.
support politicians who mind
everyone’s business but their own.
get someone to write you a poem.
paint your nails red. Eat the world.
Vote Republican.
