are persons empowered to compromise the law,
seize property, incite civil disorder,
take the bullets,
front line police?
front line police
murdered Oscar Grant;
most try their best . . . most are automated.
find lice, a fine-tooth comb, a typo in the status.
front line police wear their masks to keep peace;
fingers on triggers they tell us to freeze,
pepper spray flying, they never say please, on, in
front line police
backdoor politics
are each other.
line dancing: this sentences,
these mistake
sing the chorus
“love polices to pieces”
chew gubble bum.

Enjoyed the project, love the poem, but Nick Offbeat is merely curator of the museum that is Slim Volumes. He does not speak for himself.
