i wonder if i would incite debate, outrage,
if i was put in front of a judge
i wonder if the extremists would vouch for me
‘fair trial for the monster’
take pity on this ******* waste of air
this weight upon the world
that displaces water in bath tubs
and consumes food from the mouths of the deserving
i wonder if there has ever been such a disgrace
such an utter misuse of oxygen
i wonder if i take up room where someone else could have stood.
