Poem 168: Upon the Question of Sides

"...violence from many sides"?

a piece of quartz
has many sides
a section of hard cheese
likewise
may have many sides

an origami  baboon
will have many sides
the Rubiks cube
has many sides
the Pentagon has many sides
six or seven at least

but Neo-Nazis
in Charlottesville
loudly swearing Nazi things
and with a car
mowing down
the people
in a crowd

that does not have many sides:
only two
