A boy, this teenager goes down his driveway Satanic flag in hand, gangster looking, mix-matched and punk like, his mother says, “HEY!” Called to a stop, he turns to the smell of cooking. His mother adjusts the blood bandana on his face, after putting down his lunchbox, apple and coffee. She tells him, “Stay safe. Don’t be stupid, and I love you.” The usual case. He signs saying, “Likewise.” And takes everything, ya see. Going back into her home, with a thought, as her baby-boy-turned-young-man goes to destroy the world. “All I have to do is keep trouble from gettin’ him caught,” she thinks. His generation is a mess. Evil flag unfurled. She continues to watch from that window with a smile. On the phone with a homegirl complaining about his file.
