Summertime Blues



Saw this sarcastic meme
been bothering me for days
implying that looting was not
the most caring response
to the pigs shooting another
unarmed child. And my dad

Says, “It just makes them look bad.”
—accent on the “them”—

and I thought, what’s wrong
with looting? Maybe your attitude
towards the word is a litmus test
for your social class.

I am all crass
and my dad, the soldier
is a traitor to his.
