Blackout Poem

 Blackout Poem
The executions to be executed transferred with his appeal
automatically to the U.S. Supreme Court
And if they refuse his cabinet
Death is signed by the governor
Even if that is rejected 
Continuing on as if she were a steering wheel
Where we say that the defendant deserves a chair
Hear that?
Hanging was temporarily halted
Resumed in September of 1977
He wears a mask when he throws the switch

  1. This is very interesting and I could see you turning this into a longer piece of writing...Those last couple of lines are especially haunting.
