probable cause
by Kaitlin LaMoine Martin
murder murder murder
kill kill kill
my beloved and i sing
to each other as we
shoot cops
in grand theft auto i
automatically remind
folks frequently this is a
video game
so as not to confuse desire
for a peaceful world
with a bazooka fired
into a squad car
i love the way they fly
away from the wreck
upon impact but it’s
just a game please don’t
take things so seriously
or you’ll always be shocked
it’s not like I shot them
execution style
or left their bodies laying
in the road for hours
I mean they always win in the end
you promised you wouldn’t kill me
Natasha McKenna
told the deputies
as they slowly stole her life
i shoot down sixteen
helicopters with five stars the whole time
before they get me
the chief here tossed pepper balls
near my friends
with a small flick of the wrist
i drive to ammu-nation
and fill up my railgun
launch five high velocity projectiles
the way they light up like sparklers
bop bop bop
boom boom boom
makes you wonder
who would do something
so horrible on purpose?
