Not the most elegant of poems, but cathartic to some small extent. Written years ago, but could have been written yesterday, it's still apt.




fourth of five

 

 

five tenets keep me going   

today it was the fourth   hard physical work   

 

and it was hard   now it's done   

i won't have to do it again   

 

unless the reprobate

that took out ninety feet of posts and barb-wire

 

fails to make the same curve tonight

on his way home

 

from his drunken meth pick-up/rendezvous 

he may do it   just to spite me
