day FIVE HUNDRED and FIFTY THREE


Men and Women

Behind their guns
are beatings.
Behind their weapon caches
are women
whose stories
involved punching
and being thrown down the stairs
and being run over.
Sometimes they shoot us.
They are, after all
the number one threat to our lives
But sometimes
they shoot you too.
Sometimes
they shoot everyone.
