Winter weather advisory in effect
Snow blankets Arkansas
Phones capture white landscapes
Moments of pristine stillness
that are about to be destroyed
by the footprints of the restless
In Minneapolis
ICE murders a man in broad daylight
At home, the oven is preheating
Scratch cookie dough in the fridge
How utterly horrible
to be baking cookies at a time like this
How absolutely frightening
to watch his death
from three different angles
and then taste my chili
to see if it needs more seasoning
This isn’t the human condition
it’s desensitization
It’s reconditioning
It goes without saying
We cannot accept this
We have to abolish this
By any means possible
