Outside the tall building, two hoopers
carrying their court
shoes by knotted strings
pause before an impromptu
monument
propped against institutional
concrete -- flowers, messages
penned neatly on large
poster bearing fine graphite
drawing of a basketball.
Shaking heads.
Good kid. Got rearended.
Made one very bad mistake.
Got out of his car.

tom- these last three are on fire!!! especially moving.
Stupefyingly tragic.
The title says it all, and I find myself unwittingly remembering that Reader's Digest column, "Life in These United States" and can't help but think--what's the point?
How is this any different from chaos, he wondered?,
over the distant wait of sirens.
And now pause after an impromptu moment. A very, very long one...
Those sirens should be wailing, not waiting. Chaos on the keyboard . . .

Something in this image: a vulnerability; waiting for the drop.

Hazen's "slip" names the abyss that waits and wails.
It's so easy to slip.
