Christians to arm themselves
with pistols and rifles
against something he saw in his head,
a space
also inhabited by oily sand dunes,
asymmetrical concrete blocks,
mud puddles, and small
household appliances.
And by Jesus, of course,
riding into town on a donkey,
his pistol holstered,
the rifle across his legs.
The senator can't find scripture
for his alarm, but that don't matter,
children; that don't matter.
