free agnew confrontation

random bestial power coursing
bunches of quakers praying
so many reminders
cars careening
in the same cell suffering
most solitary sadnesses
tiny shards in strong wind
bodies along to get it wrong
if only a law is just life celebration

maryland avenue at sunrise
(the baltimore defense committee, operating out of 2525 maryland avenue, organized several days of nationally prominent anti-war and social justice protests in 1968 during the trial of the catonsville 9)

 

best that ever

my violent law
my oppressing order
knees locked heels digging
lookup bluesky reeling
silhouettes surround swirling circling
smoke and flames
your hope despair your rage
my war

president street at sunrise
