now then – killing a waitress

in central vienna

a terror attack of deranged

shooting indiscriminately at

all of us – just think for a moment –

besides the act being below the

lowest of any man’s base/lip service

against it will not help eradication of

radicalism/extremism/low life attacks/

twisted minds/existence of evil

since kain and abel

extreme left and right

but then – is deradicalisation possible?

so then/killings will carry on?

perhaps the poet had a bad feeling

on monday the second of the

eleventh month

having lost half of his molar on a

bite of crispy toast?

this eleventh month – reminder of

catastrophic events – is badly tainted

with blood in our minds.
