Young Cops

by Tomaz Salamun

All young cops have soft

mild eyes. Their upbringing is lavish.

They walk between blueberries and ferns,

rescuing grannies from rising waters.

With the motion of a hand they ask for

a snack from those plastic bags. They

sit down on tree stumps, looking at valleys

and thinking of their moms. But woe is me

if a young one gets mad. A Scourge

of God rings, with a club that later you can

borrow to blot your bare feet.

Every cop wears a cap, his head murmuring under it

A sled rushes down a slope in his dreams.

Whomever he kills, he brings spring to,

whomever he touches has a wound inscribed.

I would give my granny and my

grandpa, my mom and my pa, my wife

and my son to a cop to play with.

He would tie up my granny's white hair,

but he'd probably chop up my son

on the stump of a tree. The cop himself would be sad

that his toy was broken. That's the way they are

when smoking pot: melancholy. They take off

their caps and breathe their tears into them.

Actually, they're like camels riding

in the desert, as if it were the wet palm of a hand.
