someone's christ



john sweet




somewhere in new york
driving west
over the bodies of too many
dying children

someone's christ
nailed to a cross
in the median strip
and flies crawl across
his dead skin

crows have pecked
his eyes out

you ask me to stop
so you can take pictures
and maybe cut off a finger
for a souvenir

something to bronze
for a good lick charm
or a coffee table
ornament

something to remember
this day by
