It was indeed a great weekend
A diverse
New York neighborhood
A predictable
Saturday evening
Celebrating
Rest, togetherness, gaiety
A typical
Nondescript night
suddenly shaken
by falling shreds of glass
like confetti
spectacular explosions
heard across the river
not fireworks
Yet again
A fearless declaration
of dread
by the faceless
nameless
shameless
St. Cloud residents
at the Mall
going about their
coupon redemption
prosaic weekend
unexpectedly awakened
to religious brandishing
Satan
had come shopping too
and decided
to leave behind
some playful
cutting -edge
conceited reminders
about
all being equal
in the eyes
of the Shaitan
New Jersey
ready to sail
just barely eliminated
the chance of being
added to statistics
of this weekend’s
incident debrief
Meanwhile,
At the headquarters of Hell
Infernos were ablaze
luminous and celebratory
For what seemed to have been
A great weekend indeed!
