blueberries
lined
up
against
the
stucco
wall
,
under
the
baking
mexican
sun
,
both
the
criminals
and
innocent
bystanders
of
my
interrogated
emotions
face
execution
without
trial
.
the
soldiers
of
accusation,
ready
opponents,
those
men
i
think
i
should
be
,
have
ammuniton
in
hand
, unwilling
to
understand
there
exists
the
right
to
contest
.
"
READY
!"
fear
falls
to
the
hard
-acked
earth
.
anger
pulls
taut
against
the
cords
cutting
into
his
wrist
and
shouts
for
justice
.
joy
swallows
and
closes
his
eyes
in
acceptance
.
sadness
smiles
without
showing
his
teeth
.
"
AIM
!"
embarrassment
soils
himself
.
passion
daydreams
.
reason
pleads
insanity
.
love
cries
a
puddle
at
his
feet
.
"
FIRE
!"
hope
dies
last
.
