16 poets read from SGVPQ 68


MARIA A. ARANA
baby makes…

baby makes fake mommy kill herself
hurts so bad to see her body mangled with therocks
white hair
white heart
impure

baby makes you burn yourself
the skin scorches
and you stand there gawking at the blisters

baby looks the other way and other babies dothe same
can’t stand baby murderers
but babies kill without remorse

baby shoots daddy
baby stabs mommy
baby sleeps with teeny baby

they watch and learn
and learn to watch
mimicking society

adults should fear their blank stares
baby isn’t baby anymore
