Of Ashley Cole, Assailant

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

So what shall we say of you now, Corporal Cole,

that have with your .22 air rifle shot and wounded

so direful a foe as Tom Cowan, unarmed intern, 21?

And from just 5 feet away, I wonder

that you did not bayonet him instead,

boldly through the guts

since you had muzzle and nightscope why stop there

if to butcher interns is your petty pleasure.

What shall we call you now, Cashley?

Or should we text and hope (Sonia) Wildly

For a bare-cheeked picture message signed in your sweaty hand:

“There. I look so ugly x.”
