In this powerful poem, Hilton Obenzinger uses dark humor to address our gun crisis. “So much to shoot and so little time/ Let’s shoot the small quiet wind . . .”

Decades of hope seem suddenly to turn to bullshit.
Dread and rage swirl around the country, but the lunch counter is quiet with snoozing baseball caps tipping into coffee cups.
