Reflected Day
Adam Day

​

Neighbor tried
to separate
 
a state trooper
from his helmet.
 
We lobbed snowballs
with batteries
 
encased over the riot
shields at skinheads.
 
A woman beside us
swung a sock
 
with a cue ball
inside. Our families
 
would see us
on TV. White people
 
love the local news,
Billie Holiday.
