Modesty
Boy-cut panties, crumpled on the floor
Weapons stashed behind the door
Crucifix bedroom wall backdrop for
The sexting pic sent to you,
Un-asked Modesty is a luxury
Hypocrisy
When life is exposed
For all to see
These are poems that never
Had a chance
Shot down, on some city street
At 25
By scared-to-death police
still alive
