War
raw foods are best they say. so…
i am eating
carrots and mung sprouts
hoping
for optimum health.
i am listening to the daily reports:
food being dropped on a nation
bombs we are dropping on a Nation.
the radio has become a
cancerous growth.
my eyes are thick with
melanoma of television,
a single vision
like the 4th of July
i am standing in a crowd of People
watching the neon bombs far away.
