Erasure poem

Reading the news, I thought

I’d do an erasure poem

with the Bill of Rights

and soon I had an empty page.

We need to take back and

fill in the blanks with our rights

before we forget

we ever had them.

Carve them on the backs

of our hands and

on our foreheads.

Let them know

we are not one

of their sheep

to be sheared and

served as chops for dinner
