The Rebirth of Papa

the attack that killed everything will be worldly & enchanted
how strange to be in san bernardino & curious too
i remember that this was you
a world numbered by your numbed expression
what wondrous officials have scrambled witches
goblins & lightning wishes & they were looking at a terrorist
people involved in honey carnivals & dragons
& all right in custard gas brownies
cinnamon & massacre wednesday
& THIS IS NORMAL NOW

these masques of sugar & mystery & wonder
when the attackers kiss you all with that which also wounded paris
the 21 people on 78 kevlar cards
the possibility of bombs & guns & cream
of roses & ivy & workplace violence
& THIS IS NORMAL NOW

oh you & your silly wars!
oh you officials since the unicorn crystals
& terrorism according to the world this is
your arsenal of explosive sigils at the allegiance to the extremely unusual
& ammunition suggesting the end of one perfect love
so rich the clearest indication yet
& THIS IS NORMAL NOW

the only sane response to
when the leader of the lethal case will cast
by an act of total determination
whether whimsy & perhaps cut-up reality has amassed
an intuition of the twin attackers or have also revealed that
i will give law enforcement toys to the 16 people pledged
& THIS IS NORMAL NOW
