*Amended – because I got Michael Brown and John Crawford names mixed up. That’s how messed up this situation is, that I can make that mistake so easily. Guns don’t kill people, policemen do.
BRAND NEW,
Feeling – brand new
A new purchase freshly scanned through.
Next to the car,
Sudden pain,
All asphalt and white lines
Car tyres.
A S.W.A.T team stand
Guns silent
But ultra violent,
As if being young,
And black
With a pellet gun
Is the cue to saturate the hue.
50 Psi
Shouldn’t be anyone’s last memory
In the car park
In daylight or dark.
This,
is not one,
But many too many.
