RUNNERS-UP:
LobodeSanPedro
and KittyFromHell
Face off...(Time for the real you)
Judgement Day--
The day of reckoning,
the day where all is laid bare,
the moment in which the review of past deeds
does no good.
The space in time when relationships are reflected
off the mirror image of you...
Judgement day...
another day...
look...
struggle...
and in this moments end...
It's my today

I don't play ball anymore
upon my brother's chest
fall the incongruent tears of
what was it the minister called it
oh yeah, that's right
a grateful nation.
I asked my brother once
what do those people look like over there.
they look like us
serenity is surrendered to squalor
respect is held in the curl of my forefinger
honeyed skin is baked ripe for adjudication
all walk a sand silted plank in the delta.
the minister says he died bringing justice to the world
yet his body is dressed and boxed
with the same ceremony as a baseball game
same damn song too
but somehow I've forgotten the words.
