This weekend there’s a deadly bombing
at a funeral for one who bombed

this more recent bomber
was killed in the act
by others who were killed
themselves in the course
of retaliation

friends and family
of the first bomber
deceased

but not before killing
at least twenty-one people

You following me?

Somebody please
cue Louis Armstrong!

. . . and I say to myself,
what a wonderful world . . .
