Higgledy Piggledy
Kruse in his cubicle,
Down in St. Petersburg,
Where it’s so hot
A magical season,
A writer’s obsession.

McKillop in verse
Charlotte.
20 minutes to tip.
Here:
Attack the attacker.
We will not back down from anybody.
We see ourselves sometimes in the middle of the boxing ring,
and we always want to fight stepping forward,
and we always want to be in the middle.
We understand we’re going to get knocked to the mat.
We understand we may get knocked to the ropes.
But we also understand
that we may have to fight it outside the ring,
and get into the street,
and maybe even go house to house,
and we’re gonna do that.
