As common as going to Mass (shooting)

Mass
by Edward Rochester Esq.

The cut was deep and accurate
slicing away unwanted peril
from familiar flesh.

Clumps of auburn
rested in a porcelain
basin as I watched,
unable to hold onto yesterday’s
wink.

So true the cost
of daily bread,
but pay the price I will
to see the next setting sun,
bright in my eyes.

Wincing, my sutures stretch
to break point,
a simple turn in sleep
brings a goblin's dance
to my agony.

A granddaughter's bib
I’ll smell,
her youthful aroma,
brings me strength
to stand and walk
into tomorrows.

One day, I'll hold her again,
walking to green parks.

Just as a disgruntled Donkey has to take down an entire group of people with him.

It's the old scenario of the disgruntled child ("If I can't have it, then nobody can!") played out on a deadlier scale.

"If I can't have you, nobody can," "I'm going out in a blaze of glory," "I will be famous."

Funny certain someones the couldn't accept a new norm of virus precautions but want us to accept a new norm of mass shootings. Take it from someone who have been in that war way too long-- no one, no place is safe any longer-- even for those that think they're safe with their guns...

I'm usually not one for sentimental, but this one got me... I have something I created in a similar vein that no one will ever see...
