city child
December 27, 2020
i raced past a girl no older than the age of 4
reeling out of the window of a still car
only illuminated by the blue light of her
mother’s negligence calling shotgun
and the sunken stars
that she screamed “shut the f*ck up” at
i’m familiar with the
hostile mimicry of youth
yet i can’t help but wonder if
there’s an inherent hatred in the
fluttering heart
of a child
