Another Shooting — poem

This piece discusses gun violence, mass shooting, trauma & death.

It was originally published on my Twitter account here.

You will wake to news of another shooting

Another [person/s] murdered people while you were sleeping

Another [person/s] took the lives of people whose names you will read, whose pictures you will consume with greed and loss and hope and numbness

You will cry

Or you will clench your jaw and move on to your morning coffee
