My coworker was killed in a drive-by shooting while doing a kind deed.
Drive-by rings benign-
"Y'all happen to drive by, drop in".

From this county,
I renounce
no scream suburban phrasing

and reterm
it an act
of no aim atom dispersal

aborting
Anthony's mission
of small kindnesses.

Tony
forget in a bullet's
blink. Fling your

earthsuit.
Rise out of gravity
and stasis of target.
