'nother day
staying away, distant
protests on the streets
neighbours
your brother
your sister
people killed in neighborhoods
none of this affects us
courage
same ol’ hotel room
she is locked in the bathroom/two hours
she mourns his father
shee cries because shee cannot do anything else
& it has always been the most comfortable thing
men who win
those who lose
tragic events in our bones
what does it matter
I only ask for a rye
but there is no rye
form of compassion
here in dallas, texas, today, live.
