A Mystery White Boy

A mystery white boy
a timepiece
he may be there still
on the moor

a tanker broke in two
spilling death
on Catalonia shores
so useless

a striking fireman
burnt to cinder
a hateful irony
to shrugged shoulders

a lisping fat black girl
cracked piped spasm
the wrong crowd
laughing hard

just secondhands
of time
