TEA TIME in L.A.

Where is Invisi-Girl when you need her?"


VISIBLE CRUELTY 
                              (8-sonnet sequence)
PART 4


(7) I 
                              THINK THAT GOOD OL' XANDERsaid it 
                              best

when after Cordy quickly turned 
                              her face

away from "weirdo" Buffy 
                              and the rest --

when gratitude so 
                              quickly did erase . . .


. . . and 
                              popularity returned full-purr

as 
                              first priority in her mean 
                              life.

Where is Invisi-Girl when you 
                              need her?"

Yes Xander 
                              "joked" about that girl with knife, . . 
                              .


. . . but treating people by "the 
                              social rules"

creates an anger 
                              that is justified.

No, we don't want 
                              no Uzi's loose at schools,

but social 
                              villainy can't be denied.


Must it 
                              be the cold rule of life that "b*tch"

goes 
                              hand in glove with popular (and 
                              rich)?


(8) AND must the social 
                              darwinism scheme

frame school enviornments 
                              without restraint?

Must even teachers 
                              play on the same team

of pecking 
                              order rules? WELL, I'm no saint . . 
                              .


. . . that can change hearts and 
                              minds at will,

but institutions can 
                              grow to include

new "processes" that 
                              are designed to kill

the need for 
                              violence which can intrude . . .


. 
                              . . through human spirit that says "I 
                              refuse

to let these bastards get away with 
                              this."

THE ANSWER'S new proceedures 
                              that defuse

the standard pecking system, 
                              JUST LIKE THIS:


A forum 
                              where contempt is put on 
                              trial.

That makes eight 
                              sonnets. Time to quit . . . and 
                              smile.
