Lesson 20
Black milk of morning we drink you eveningswe drink and we drink through a straw stuck in TVs
we drink and we drink through straws stuck in screens
blinded to the truth though its stark and serene
Today I saw pictures and videos of violence
graphic depictions of men on their knees
and men over men on their knees with fistfuls
and dickfuls of loathing they pierced and they screamed
men over men / Jew Gentile and Muslim / men over men
screaming
screaming
STOP
It’s easy for me to
It’s easy for me
to pretend its not happened
to close my eyes and live except
Black milk of morning we drink you evenings
we drink and we drink through a straw stuck in TVs
we drink and we drink through straws stuck in screens
blinded to the truth though its stark and serene
