or the body of Christ
which has membered itself
in the fuse as in the explosion
which will not explain itself
nor can it be expressed
but a gun is a mechanized act
of cruelty designed for mayhem
there’s no way around it
though technology itself
must be gotten around
something we need later in life
we jettisoned when young –
now we have to re-create it
why be greedy
with our gratitude
the first youth is given
the second earned
I think his last name means
‘Proud Son’ or ‘Son of Pride’
not a designation but a diagnosis
as with all tombstones
