Crik, crak, crik, crak

now where’s the flak jacket?

what we report

is re-enacted as sport

ricocheted retort

that grenade fell short

down by the port

meant for police convoy

of super-power envoy

hit schoolboy

and girls – a decoy?

inevitability, repeatability

what we narrate

is born of hate.
