sniper fire

from the UN-grassy knoll

cocaine high

you see in living color after that

pure white smoke

and bee bee at the knees

arrives like a punch in the face

or a pail of cold water

and hops and sometimes drops

and sometimes disappears

(ask any ump)

and thwack goes the mitt

a Foley artist couldn't make that sound

statement of unbending bluntness

black and white

and no détente

you on that side

me on this

and hit it if you can
