Odds
My brother wants to be a state trooper.
In the academy, he will be tased
Maced
Fight-trained and taught how to survive.
I teach tiny, special humans to read.
To make eye contact
Feed themselves and
Find their way of communicating with the world.
How is it that I am just as likely to be gunned down
While in a circle
Singing “Baby Shark”?
Do-do-do-do-do-do.
