Yes, we can

Empty hollow flat and false - your American thoughts and prayers. Your God should wipe you out. I can't help but think it.

I sat in the car with my son before school. The car radio talked about the most recent school shooting. He was eating a cider donut and getting ready to take a standardized test. We listened to the report in the early morning just like we did the one about the Buffalo supermarket shooting the week before last. Neither one of us said anything. 

He seemed to find within himself a way to continue. I guess I did the same. Falling, but forward.
