It’s been a while since I’ve been to a
good lynching where I may choke the life
out of my fear and vent my rage at god
by the torture of the powerless
and still maintain the approbation of my
peers who also can only be appeased
by the torture of innocents.

Still, in some blithe pits of Alabama and the like,
little of spirit has changed since Golgotha,
saints be praised.
