and the long day breaks open and lo!
lo!
the tiny child street explodes
with rage and bombs
and this
(of course)
is why
some get rich and some stay
poor
(and die)
-----
labeling one
"pathetic"
(the new demonization)
excuses everything
and makes heroes of
the pathological monstrosities
being proudly bred
in a world not fit
for anything but the garbage dump
(and america)
----
the child sings
and appears
in minute form
momentarily existing
before
the bomb falls and he is gone
