Assume the position
It’s time for your daily 15 minutes of outrage
time for furrowed brows and fingertips to lips and scripted measures
of concern
your eyes so blacked by ignorance
you can’t see the gun in your hand.
Let us pray
for the victims
this sorrowful collection of
lone gunmen.
Why does this keep happening? Lord, someone make it stop.
And let he who is without sin
fire the first shot.
