Have I spent too much time worrying about the boys

killing each other to pray for the ones who do it

with their own hands?

Is that not black on black violence?

Is that not a mother who has to bury her boy?

Is it not the same play?

The same plot & characters?

           The curtain rises, then:

                         a womb

                         a boy

                         a night emptied of music
