whether the story rings true
what matters is how much
does it move you when it ends
do you get up and load your gun?
or do you order one online
and vow you'll learn to use it?
do you stand beside your window
looking down like an assassin?
do you see cops and their cars
wholly newly? not enemies
but occupiers, soldiers
of the oppressors? people who
after our wars in other lands
needed uniforms and guns
orders and someone to kill?
if not, you read the wrong story
one meant to tame and dull you
to the ring around your balls
and the other in your nose
