tears

[Chris Brady <cdbrady@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the crying is good for my sinuses

that boy without his arms anymore
his little fingers = gone.
and pointy knuckles, too,
with life lines and love lines
they were attached

that pretty, prepubescent, curly-haired girl
she looked like she was asleep
without her foot
that dainty bare foot
was not there

those bullies do not know, for
a djin has twisted their souls
they have become Saddam cubed
strange irony
they believe they are Good.

i heard an old Laura Nyro song tonight:
save the children
save the people
save the country

Peter, you know why you must keep on keepin on:
like Che said,
it is about love.
