Writing Charlottesville

the
story is written
in
black and white;
no
gray areas
in
this script
ex-
cept for the red
spa-
tters of blood –
no
two sides
to
the tale
of
world war three
in
nucleus –
this
story has only
one
right, and only
one
wrong – this
cast
consists exclusively
of
heroes and maniacs –
this
plot ties neatly into
one
climactic  ultimatum.
