But bitter and twisted gobs on sticks stir shit;
Mendacity’s their stock in trade; love’s bled
To death by sabre-rattling hypocrites.

100 Batmans
soldiers take the field
foam swords and shields
Costume City troops
dressed in batman suits

the battle to resume
when a glass of tea
and one grilled cheese
are happily consumed

hisses and spits
Assssssad

in my right
froths and foams
for freedom
and either of these
sly predators
could have delivered
the fatal bite
that caused parents
and children
to weep blister
burn and die
a black man
with skin of grey
and eyes bloodshot
