day TWELVE HUNDRED and THIRTY FOUR


the architects

when
the cops
kill another black person
and the riots start
the poor innocent white people
suddenly become architects
worrying
about the burning buildings

oh the buildings!
oh the buildings!

they worry about those buildings
more than they worry
about the people
who have been beaten
brutalized
and murdered
at the hands
of a corrupt system
that they’ve breezed through
their whole lives 
with the ease
of a beaming blonde family
having a sunday picnic
in a big beautiful
park.

a pack of rosy-faced
innocent frank llyod wright's
for sure.
