day EIGHT HUNDRED and THIRTY ONE




Notre Dame

burnt
and sure, it’s a tragedy
for religious people living
near the building

must have been
‘cuz all of the billionaires
jumped to attention
like
orca whales
at Sea World

black churches burn invisibly
hearts smolder
no one bats
an eye

the disparity is vulgar
the American caste system
unruffled

know your place

--Heidi Blakeslee
