love those friends who'd turn you in

because you disrupt their little suburban worlds


of bigotry and envy and hatred for the other

ruining your tea parties with embarrassing booms on their white carpets


all of which is fading much to no one's pity

because everyone's moving back to the cities


everyone loves a mass grave

with no owning up to the reasons you've killed yourselves


and took too many others with you...
