Also published in Winter, 2011/2012 was the following poem.

                                      School Children View the Body
                                       Of an 11 Year Old Gang Member

                                
                                                       The picture in the paper
                                                        shows them looking sideways
                                                        into the casket, mothers hovering.
                                                      
                                                        Robert, better known as Yummy,
                                                        (he could live on animal crackers)
                                                        was to start sixth grade in the fall.
   
                                                        To find the hidden picture
                                                         look for a boy putting his tousled head
                                                         in the lion's mouth.
