our thoughts and prayers go out 

put it in a hallmark card 

i could write 

a generic poem 

for school shootings 

so we won’t have to come up 

with a new message each month 

how about this:

our thoughts and prayers go out

to your child shot in the mouth 

by the other child with an AR-15

bought legally in this country

— we’re so so sorry.

signed, 

yours truly,

america the free
