grandmother charged
with murder 2015 edit

Janet Kuypers
written 3/3/12, edited 5/21/15

just heard that
a grandmother was charged
with murdering her granddaughter

you see, she caught
the 9 year old girl
eating chocolate

so to punish her
she made her carry
a bunch of firewood
in both arms
as she ran
back and forth
in her back yard

without even
giving her water,
her granddaughter
died of cardiac arrest
and dehydration

i’m sorry,
i don’t study the masters
i just study the disasters*
as i eat
my dark chocolates
and observe

 

* “i don’t study the masters
i just study the disasters”
is from Sid Yiddish
