I HAD A DAY AHEAD OF ME
by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal
They should not have
brought me in here.
I was minding
my own business
when the police
kidnapped me and
infected me.

I had a day
ahead of me.
The pliers were
for my safety.
I only waved
them to protect
myself from them.

I saw what they
did to Rodney
King.  I figured
I'd twist their balls
if they tried the
same shit on me.
When can I leave?

I had a day
ahead of me.
It is really
none of your damn
business what that
was.  Just let me
out of here please.
