SOMEWHERE

Somewhere along the way

Reality reached down

With a not so gentle hand,

Picked me up by my ass,

Slammed me against the wall screaming,

“Okay kid; show me where it’s at now.”

 

A thousand hells later,

Staring at the fireball monster

Wiping the sweat off my brow

I wondered if there really was an America

Vague and anonymous across the sea

Or if it was only the figment

Of someone’s bent imagination.

Vague and anonymous across the sea

Delightful iris beats the tandem fedeuciary of state benefits

Thank you for your observation.

It was about me as a kid in the Vietnamese war.
