Statistics

Staticians can burn

along with

the magazines

      for crimes against humanity

      and

conjuring a false sense

      of the average

How dare the bigots

      pretend to report

      factoids in tabloids

and attempt to quantify

      the world

simply to further their agendas?

How do you measure

      the love of a mother

      the sorrow of a soldier

      the pleasure of a good fuck

      the pain of castrations?

Staticians can burn.
