Love Poem
for RW
 
I will help you kill him.
We will be child murderers,
we will go back in time.  Or
we will drive to his house now
where he lives as
a fucked old man.  We
will discuss him rationally
over the dinner table until
we get in the car and start
the resolute engine.
Either way, we will
grow fangs in our gums
guns in our hands
indifference in our guts:
 
I will help you kill him.​
