Teeth

Two kids my age
kicking the shit
out of another younger kid
in somebody's front yard
on 7th St. in Oregon City.

Not avoiding the face,
but
aiming at it.

The teeth are gates
to a pearly white
hell
and
somebody is going to
pick them up off the sidewalk
like they're a string of pearls.

Okay soooo here's the plan
my righteous big brothers,
we're gonna introduce
the young men specimen to bloodshed
in a manner of expectation.

When you get this angry it's just like
Dallas Cowboys
all in your backyard
rodeo call for
pure Texas fuck you syndrome,
passing on what's presented
where the teeth are going to make way
for a tongue
of steel.

not anything here
but
when the wolves
don't show no mercy
be the beast
that the sheep would fear.
