NEGOTIATIONS

Michael Dickman

White people

my brothers & sisters

caucus in their

holes

They would turn over a bus full of schoolkids & set that on fire

Have done

I believe in hoop rolling my heart into the sea like a wet dream

I believe in Xmas lights from the 50s & fried chicken

Oh let’s

give them what

they want: no jobs just

more heroin

more heroin

more heroin

SOME SAY

Carol Muske-Dukes

Some say it’s High Noon in a big hat, shooting

up the saloon. America? Some say it’s your

Second Amendment, those stockpiles of ammo

bought at a chain. Say the next-door kid living in

screen games: exploding heads, walking dead?

Or it’s gangs in torched neighborhoods, drugs

running in the brain or a bead drawn on a clinic

doctor, women in line next to a homeless vet,

begging. Some say it’s armed revolt, racist cops,

bragging hunters, looter-tools, mass crave/rave

for oblivion: rapture addicts! Here comes one

more drive-by, school invasion, nightclub terror,

bully/bullied, lynch mob, god cult, toddler-a-cide.

O America, shooting from the hip, from the last of

the trees in a national park, your militia surrounded

by SWAT. Say you’re an upstanding patriot in an

invented war—defending unborn lobbyists, a double-

sided coin minted by the National Reprisal Association

of the craven congressionals—saying it to history’s

final judge. You, great god Gun, in whom some trust:

in bunker-mind, underground condos. O say it in Homeric

chanted dactyls: I sing of arms & the punk self-pumped-

up lovers of the Silencer. Dickinson wrote it first,

living god of Gun, you are “without the power to die.”
