sleight of glock

someone wrapped a gloved hand around his ungloved hand and weapon
gloved hands all round
like someone locking inside locks from outside
who would have seen is no one
someone hold his bleeding head in your lap
wipe their blood off a ceramic floor
some one every one
here the last chunk of dried blood on our fingers
refuse to war
refuse
war

toward bennett place at sunrise
(found evidence supports a theory sean suiter committed suicide in bennett place in 2017—the war machine that caged him reacted in an angry thuggish swarm of human rights violations, teeming lost in the smog of a lost war)

collateral collective insanity

any one
any pain
broken toe holding on to dying in arms
walk in walk out
script
my friends
one less war
or dont we need some one here

coroner at sunrise
(in 2016 fentanyl became the leading cause of overdose death in maryland—bodies are counted at the office of the chief medical examiner on baltimore street—tompetty is going to open for prince on tour next year)
