The boy could be my boy, lying there at the feet of the world and the world looking the other way.
Goddamn us.
Please.
Give us what we deserve.
If you are a just God, rain down fire and hell upon our heads. Lighting bolts in our back yards and rivers of excrement down our smooth, well-scrubbed streets.
Please, dear God we pray.
When I awoke this morning, I thought it essential to the world order and being right, and a good person, that I shave, help out with the dishes, be on time, and drive on the right side of the road.
Do a good job. Be pleasant. Smile.
But now I just can't stop laughing.
The world thinks it still matters, and that's kind of funny in a way.
There, the flag flying over the Catholic elementary school and the yellow ribbons tied to the light poles on both sides of Main Street.
Stray cats wearing yellow ribbons around their necks, roaming the night, looking both ways before crossing the street, as if it mattered.
You are never so wrong as when you damage a young boy.
We sit down here like the Who's in Whoville celebrating the coming of War Season while this boy lies on the cold floor.
Tee. Hee-hee.
