New poem: ODE TO TWO STUDENTS

four decades ago
if a student didn't care
about class
about homework
wanting to do nothing but
lay his or head down on the desk
or sit in passive resistance--
the teacher would say
it's not my problem anymore
and let the student not care
while his/her classmates
turned in assignments,
learned lessons
and looked at the blackboard
until the mechanical bell
said "get up"
>
four decades later
a student who doesn't care
gets the Very Important Truant treatment
of teacher reproval,
then visit from principal or administrator
and, after that,
the school cop
who dumps him/her from the desk
throws him/her like a discus
while another student uses cameraphone
and is arrested
for making a permanent record of discipline
executed with extreme prejudice

New poem: ALBUQUERQUE

the whole world watches

the beatings and shootings

the protests on Central Avenue

and as a result

the police get body cameras
which are turned off
when a young officer high-on-rage
decides to pummel someone
who hasn't defied him
and the officer, with every punch,
silently curses every suspect
nonviolent or otherwise
and the people in government
who don't Understand
and make him wear a body camera
and trust him to not do the same old things
in the same old ways
>
if I lived in Albuquerque,
I'd pray that,
from the ordinary-people Valley
to the moneyed Heights,
enough fellow citizens would say "enough"
and demand the APD wear body cameras
that officers could never ever turn off
in the course of what should be
workdays free of unnecessary force
