it was the guy I broke up with in high school 

after only two weeks that was most aggressive 

in the 67 comment thread on Facebook

never making a coherent argument

making wild accusations and strangely

insinuating that he keeps a secret wisdom -

anyone who dared question  

deemed fools clowns radicals

our hearts halved by grief 

19 children in their classroom 

making music cut down by a boy 

with venom in his veins

ceaseless bullying a stutter

his wrath turned 18

armed with a weapon

so powerful 

there was nothing

for parents to hold

guns don’t shoot guns

fucking snowflakes 

fucking clowns

in high school I dumped him 

because he shotgunned

a rack of beer 

burst into tears

yelled at invisible objects

and farted like a dog

the two of us alone in the woods

cans at my feet his anger rising

Gotta go I said

his rage barreling round 

eyes swollen nose dripping

he punched a tree

for the next two days

he parked in my driveway 

head on the steering wheel

I want you back he wrote 

in a note stuffed under a wiper blade

in the school parking lot

I’m sorry it didn’t work out 

my car door swinging open

It’s not going to work out

But the note I left? he asked

head cocked leaning forward

grinning oh the flash of fury 

when I drove off

I heard he hated me 

he fucking hates you

can’t wait to read 

what the libtards

blame this on

he comments on the post 

of a woman grieving 

senseless violence

oh, oh, 

let me guess

toxic masculinity
