Cook County Juvenile detention center
The black and Brown kids locked in tiny pods
banged their fists and penises against the plexiglass
"I´m gonna get outta here
and rape yo whole family"
and the white stooges just called them animals
while they counted crisp bills to be spent
on county board meetings in Hawaii,
and those poor kids wasted
in a catch-22 without knowing
nor caring to understand
the horrible game
they´d been forced to play
pretending not to think
about their 16th birthdays.
Sometimes rumors would filter back
"so and so was raped"
"so and so is in the hospital"
"so and so is gettin off cos evidence
is circumstantial"
Most never left their blocks,
trains through other hoods
were gauntlets
and
there were 12 hour days on the corner.
They were handed pieces with promises
that a couple years in juvi
"wad´nt shit";
14 year olds don´t get tried
as adults.
Close to their 16th Birthdays
they now scream like animals
pretending not to think about
what happens to boys to young to shave,
and how many cigarettes a human being is worth.
