GLITCH

3rdJan. × ’14

He drew two green mountains
with a sunshine
and shot a gun
thank everything
there is no blood

Babe Ruth said “Never
let the fear of striking out
get to you.”

He said “I’m gonna focus
do better in school
stay out of violence.”

His friend said “You better
keep that resolution
I don’t wanna be the one
to tell your father
you got shot.”

I had a dream
last night
every black boy ever arrested
got a hand shake
to undo whatever happened
movie style
lightning rods

Teachers make 15,000 decisions per day
my forehead is tired
of eyebrows arched

Like a domed movie it is an arena
when we imagine sunset
fractured light
