Miller Park



13 days since the last school shooting 

"i'm gonna pop you"

9 kids 

31 flavors 

1 old-school metal merry-go-round 

red yellow blue green laughter 

spinning spinning ridiculously 

13 days since the last school shooting 

"i'm gonna pop you" 

70° southerly wind Saturday in a park 

merry-go-round carousel roundabout 

two fingers pointed out 

two fingers curled to palm 

both hands pointing to the 

2 that belong (for a short time) to us 

"I'm gonna pop you" 

9 kids become more 

this park becomes something more 

this air something more 

13 days since the last school shooting 

we step closer 

trying to be bigger trying to be present trying to raise awareness trying to love thru the implications 

(what the hell)

"I'm gonna pop you"
