Kian

A year before the lopsided shootout
online soldiers marched to the cadence
of keyboards clacking, raising arms
against bullets planted in bags.

Like Armalites, they fired rapidly retorts 
against extortion-riddled privacy.

Now that a gun is forced upon the grip
of your cold, nondominant hand, Kian
nobody dares to shoot.
Except the badged shooters.
