The Live Statistic

between death and minor injury
on the continuum
there were the mangled
filling stark statistics those careless innocents
occupying queues trains boarding planes
going coming blown away
life deconstructed scheduled with death
and the updates kept flooding digital screens
through distant impeccable mouths
in scream-free implacable graphics
of the dazed dead dumbed speechless
the disconnected spitting blood-speak
