I hesitate in posting this but feel so compelled. A teen, on a “teen tour” asked for “something really dark”. Right after he’d made his request the dozen other teens and the couple adults of the tour began to gather round. They were anticipating “a beautiful poem”, to which he and I grinned at each other.
It was only after I handed him the poem, and they all walked away, that I realized just how darkly relevant it is for their generation, and wondered how it’d be received.
