Facetime

another routine morning

drop your child off at school

drive home on a residential street

camo dressed, masked men

surround your car,

scream in your face

this ain’t no Folgers in your cup

wakeup and face the day

kind of morning greeting

BANG! BANG! BANG!

bullets through the windshield

somehow this is your fault

when domestic terrorists

are given badges

they own the narrative

let the denigration begin

the dead can’t speak for themselves

will you, will we?

three bullets in the face

there’ll be no recovery

only another coverup
