GRATUITOUS HARM

 

 

hearing Bowie

and then Grateful Dead

on a jukebox

in a local dive bar

and wondering

if certain folk realize

that they already lost

 

At this point

they’re committing the gravest crime

gratuitous harm

in the face of impending defeat

solely from spite

 

Kinda like what Hitler did

in sacking Warsaw

fully cognizant

of ignominious defeat

just wanting to get in

one last shot

before gulping the cyanide
