**** poetry
i aim only to please
the garbage at the
closing gyre
in the center of the
verse
is
i
si
esrev
rrorim
the ultimatum is that
there i wordsi
yo tengo es tu vida
yo tengo mi vida differente
Manuel
on the Metro
said that
and he survived ******* and ******
15 years clean by AA
he humbly requests you invite him
to dine in the private hell
where poetry existed before
ecocide
was what we are doing
with words we must slay
swords we must raise
and guns we must humbly request
an exercise
in mightier than the bullet
the tip of the pen is also sharp
and rife with dawns
