apartheid state/south of the border/embassy butcherville—
Truth tellers residing in crosshairs everywhere! So what’s with
twitter tizzy; dither ‘bout a lil’ hand-to-hand contact between
Gangstas?
Fugget about it…
A fraternal fist bump?

Fugget about it…
Brotherly bungee jump?
Ol’ Schmo playin’ the chump?
