children with guns have given us hope
that we can surrender to God just by crossing the street
that we can kiss our children off to school
goodbye
one last time on the porch
the white sheet I cover you with
is death not goodnight
and it is better that you dream now forever
then to wake up again in this world
in your police taped crib in your classroom
and this earth overflowing with
hate

i am learning to be a great
TELEVision watchER
living in loud libraries and quiet bookstores
watching the loving eyes of latte sipping moms
blanketing theirbabies IN carriaGes
used to be the internet and air for your car
was free
at any given moment half the world
is yapping on their cell phones
or flipping their laptop lids
WE walked in mud through marked tree trails
around a dull flat LakE (out of lack of ANYthing else
to do)
fishing for a compliment
now that ALL THAT I EVER WAS
in self-esteem and confi
dence
has disappeared instantly down aLoud
flushing toilet
