Title
They Say There's a Riot (Poem)
Description
They Say There's a Riot
men sure like their bullets
they like them more than
they love
any
thing
it is not enough for them
to piss away their own dull lives
they must take aim
at birds
at beauty
at black children
the trouble with their guns
is that the barrels are not curved
and the bullets fire out
in the wrong direction
