"Uvalde"
the elementary school has too many doors
the site can't be secured
we need the kids to pawn their toys for a glock
rig up the classroom with traps and barbed-wire the block
can we ignore, can we pretend?
ballistic blankets are our only defense
we'll stitch some kevlar to the seams of the flag
and drape them over the windows so we can shield the attack
anything, anything
anything but logic
anything but reason
anything but impetus
indifferent, incredulous
anything
blao, blao
booby-traps, trip-wire snags
kevin mcallister's at congress with plans
cops as teachers, student's, too
god is a cop, give him a job at the school
anything, anything
pow, pow
don't want to speak in hyperbole but i can't
come to grips with plots of movies i've seen
robocop, hunger games, soylent green
dystopian america walking the streets
rest in peace
rest in peace
anything but kindness
anything but candor
anything
