2-12-01 (Other) by kthulah
in the place where i crossed the street
each weekday morning
complaining about little things
in my petty mind
a man's feet stick out from under
a police blanket
i watch the screen to see if i
know that set of toes
one with an athletic shoe on
other in white sock
i do know the arab lady
hands on her gold cheeks
her son obviously angry
i know him as well
more people lay along the road
misshapen sculptures
squeezed by angry gigantic hands
into piles of flesh
with their limbs twisted or broken
or sticking out of
blankets fluttering in the wind
held with drying blood
