to slice and dice the prism

at the University of Michigan,
from the mouth of a transgendering ecofeminist
who felt more...

Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson
A brand new sheriff came to town
I'm sure he's not the last

And where are you now

Another day
Another mass shooting
?Another incident
of domestic terrorism
?another gun man
killing people
because just because?
The NRA ?And their stooges?
Come out?
Flood the airways
With their noxious
Poisonous weasel words
?The NRA says
Mass shootings? 
Are like the weather
?You can’t control them
You can’t predict...

I remain stuck
and struck
by children to be seen behaving
but preferably not heard
regardless of behavior,

But especially not heard criticizing their WiseElders
or, probably worse, mimicking them;
although some parents,
especially grandparents,
do see mimicry as graceful flattery
and occasionally a disgraceful...

Don't mistake the dead 
For stagnant statues in the ground
Cause they are still alive
Very much alive in their clans
In their homes
