she wore blue velvet

when i got home from work tonight, i read a news article about someone getting shot less than a mile from where i live. it’s comforting to know that even the ‘burbs are becoming battlegrounds.
people say: “that’s a good neighborhood.” i say: “good neighborhoods are a thing of the past, because everybody has guns these days.”
i maintain that “gun safety” is one of the biggest oxymorons ever. but i’m a cynic, so don’t listen to me. go about your business as usual.
