what of the officer? a practitioner of martial law.

today there are blood red seams in the eyes of th

lie in wait. what of a failure to protect? the deran

medicine. what of the napalm rose? so effete the

I haven't posted any of my new poems lately. Only random ideas in form. Here's something a little fresh and a little stale. (W.C.Williams)

natives in a foreign world
inherit the dissatisfation of
the collective consciousness
