Too Much To Handle
The conductor sits
as the train has ceased its course
yet she is still dead.
The Train Game
The conductor starts
to pull the whistle, as loud
as his grinning face.
Conducting
He speeds past dead fields
of scorched crops, leaving only
billowed smoke behind.
Sex Conducting
"Tickets please," she asked
the men who would never take
her seriously.
Lynching Haikus
The body drops hard
when the box is removed from
the fast clinging feet.
They strung him up high
to make sure it was clear that
he was swinging dead.
Hanging Entertainment
Women and children
were seated in the forefront
for a better view.
The mob tore his clothes
to make the noose that would go
fast around his neck.
How many black men
have ignorant racist mobs
strung up in the trees?
They quickly covered
the fear in his eyes in order
to finish the "job."
A quick broken neck
was a blessing to all those
who dangled from trees.
