FOR CHELSEA KING


WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE?

What are the guarantees?
If you don’t know what you’ve got coming to you,
How are you going to know if you’ve been short changed?
If you can’t have a full moon on Valentine’s Day,
What can you get instead?
Or is bargaining not appropriate?
Or not allowed?

Chelsea King died horribly last Thursday
at the wonderful age of seventeen,
Almost certainly not expecting it at all.
Where’s the fairness here
When I continue to live
and smile and dream?
