Poem from The Metaphysical Salvage & Scrap Language Yard (Looting).

Kenneth DiMaggio

Looting your neighborhood
is never what you
imagined which is
why after the riots
so many are ready
to fight the next war
before it has even
started which always
seems like a re-run
of how you have always
been living and where
an invisible audience
is always laughing
at your struggles
to keep the used car
running while trying
to white-knuckle hold
the road rage in during
your morning commute
to a city like Hartford
which no one
can ever imagine
in flames

Yet when we do get
to the Dollar Store
where we shop
shoplift    or work

our imagination
only wants
to make us
kill
