Now, moment-loaded, thumb-high filmed trailers:
instant shared, liked, quick barbarity-flicks.
Promoted by smart phone-captured gaolers:
Death by You Tube: a madman’s knife-thrown tricks.
Another blockbuster, two minutes short,
set in your town:
Scene One: a blood-streaked street.
Frame-dragged across channels: a slow death caught:
Lad, stabbed, lies so still, watched, as viewers tweet.
