Tin soldiers

I would too if I was going to

and maybe I might,

decisions

discretely revised,

actions amplified

and

I could have died,

 

magnified at the end

through the coroners

lens

and penned in ink

I think

or stencil

DOA,

 

The fallacy that worries me

is

work sets you free

and that

bothers me that it

worries me.

 

Friends comfort me through the difficult times

as the wage slip slips into my unconsciousness

and I am no less for that, but no more of this,

self pity is the fools curse,

the silken sow or the pigs purse

either one will do

 

I would if I was going to anyway.

 

In response to what the hell is this about

I don't know either.
