*TW transphobia, gun violence*

plastic spoon & milk carton kills them, not guns 
their hearts murderous with seat belts, not guns

shoelace-knotted weirdos-- hopscotch lovers 
these are the mental-ill culprits, not guns

innocence: a barrel mouth--shrapnel kiss
jump rope nooses, death by recess, not guns

bathrooms-stall hiding secret genitals
violent with gender pairing knives, not guns

surely your body can travel bullet-fast 
you believed in a sunday god, not guns 

blood loss & open wounds kills them, not guns
enough to rain--the rain kills them, not guns
