[Newspoetry] gunman opens fire in gay bar, kills 1

[Joe Futrelle]

Who am I?

I am the person
who directed you to
the nearest gay bar

when you said you wanted to
shoot some gay people.

I am the person
who called the police
after you left.

Who am I?

A witness.

Your name is Gay.
What is mine?
I don't have one.
I envy you that.

Why did
I direct you to
the nearest gay bar?

Why did you tell me
you wanted to
shoot some gay people?

Why did
I call the police?

Why did they come?

Why did
Danny Lee Overstreet
die?

Where is the nearest courthouse?
I want to go get justice.

What justice?
