(found poem)

Bluegrass expanses
divided by black and white
wooden plank fences  

Wrought-iron fences
surrounding each small backyard –
Bluegrass-Aspendale  

Word of the shooting
spread quickly along leaf-strewn
walkways  into streets 
—————————————

Livable City Ponders
Its Outburst
of Anger and Unrest,
New York Times
