squeamish age of
offensive nature
minority squeal, color-we-normalcy
Civil rights? The right to be civil?
Be civil to what?
CHURNING STOMACH!
(churnchurnchurn…washing machines
eating neckties)
acidic tongues
hydrochloric protestations of maltreatment
(“We the people” we, of course, meaning
The Privileged Few)
slang epitaphs/fouled HCL d-d-d-dripping
scalding hearts
soulcombustion
red-white-blue discoloration
neon stars, malicious stabbings
Screams!
(Civil Wrongs?)
