tues, 8pm.
i wuz running
a game demo
on my laptop
whn. i shot a man
dead. my bullet
wrenched his chest
open as
he crumpled moaning
to the ground.
i did not know
the man & had
no reason to
shoot him
beyond
the electronic curiosity
of bloody murder & an
american reflex to
kill.
if i am tried for
this bleeding crime
i must plead
guilty &
serve my penance in
computer game hell
with screaming nintendo sounds
& manic trigger fingers.
we humans are not wise
& i am human.
thus i enter the cyber
world & thus
i smite.
