Priapism and War.

The thing about writing poetry is you should keep it in a desk drawer and not tell anyone,
then go to war,
and it gets darker, then the years pass and it gets better
and your kids discover it,
except you didn't have kids or go to war or keep it in your desk,
it's on the internet
and little scraps of paper a
and it's terrible,

and nobody listens when you say what life is about because the dump was your mouth for a while and the trash covers up the gold, and metaphors and language are tools you use to take over the indigenous peoples of the world, and you can't even say the regular things, or do them,

despite being unremarkable.
