XII.
bang a gun goes who fires a gun
safety first then pull the trigger
chooses to here we are
in a classroom you in front of me
in front of him her see the kickback
in your eyes before the mortal weight
of the piece before the shell report or bullet
before just saying points at you in front of me
bullet arrives safety first no then a bubble
pops up no then pull the trigger a bubble
blood pops up of blood it is of blood the kickback
pull the fucking who decides lives gun points
bullet arrives with a sigh in air a human sigh
and human blood not spider blood see just saying
a window opens a window breaks open gun goes off
cartoon window cartoon bubble cartoon gun black
and white grey outside is it the shooter your thought
is in the bubble red is it his thought your understanding
instant an intake of breath a sigh and outcome say
you were not equal you were not equal but free not equal
free you are now you were not you said to the world I am
not in I you said we we are not equal not to this world this
and this before the world you in front of me in front of him
her I am not equal before the world judge me before the world
judge me this
I contend that not only are we unequal you and I but equally so
equally unfree
and keeping inside the same frame you are saying well you are
writing in blood
you for me together we are engaged in trade and this is all happening
on the outside
where everything matters where nothing matters here in the kickback
in the black and white
