and always take care because there are monsters :
while my across the street neighbor paulino
and i were chatting a man walked up and said
that his 10 year old son had been killed in
a shooting at a nearby fast food shop.
he asked us to watch the eyewitness news at 11p
as there would be a report on the killing and
hopefully the killers could be caught.
the man carried a photo of his son and
a small cigar box for donations towards funeral costs.
i gave three dollars
beware and have you heard the news that

a saturday past i decided to watch the tellie.
switching from channel to channeli came upon
the late afternoon news. there had been a funeral
at a church where first a fight broke out and
then a shooting. a young man was killed.
he turned out to be a cousin of the man for whom
the funeral was held. several churches and
funeral homes had declined to hold the service
as they feared problems involving rival gangs
monsters who will kill
and then kill again and again
they will kill for the suv and the ipod
and the dvd too monsters that will kill
for pieces of gold and for the price of oil
after a meal and a chat with my mum
i walked to the area post office for stamps
and to mail the month's bills.
in front of a we-fry u-buy fish shop
which anchors the mini-mall
that includes the post office,
a shrine had been set up.
there were voltive candles and balloons
and ribbons and numerous other items.
above it all a large white cardboard sign
was taped to the fish shop window
and written on the sign in red spray painted letters
was R.I.P. JR. last night a young man was shot
four times from a passing car.
so i say brothers and sisters please beware
and always take care because there are monsters
and they are living among us
