The Return












The Return




What I love about stupidity/
Is its fluidity/
You little things/
Dont even sit to think/
About the bitter stink/
Of your own minds, useless and weak/
You choose distantly/
Fighting me without the threat of bruises and pink/
Skin introduced to my two fists and bleed-/
Ing knuckles, then let's have a new dinner feast/
As you choke on this ruthlessness, reams/
Of paper, that move, digging these/
Graves with boom, hit or swing/
And if you wish for me/
To shut up, then grab your crew, infantry/
Made of rude simmering/
Impotent tempers and exhumed middling/
Pathetic idiots, regardless of your duel withering/
Ideals the proof's living, breath-/
Ing and will soon live with me/
Cause Ill be home soon, snickering/
As the truth's shimmering/
Above you, your doom glistening/
Above a fools' history/
Pull and shoot, pistols' sing/
In the fat hands of the cruel mistress we'd/
Loved, she cooed sinister/
As her ruse finished her/
And the elder, you'll rue differently/
Because you were the bloom, inner gleam/
Of light, you christened me/
After deployment you soothed, whispering/
Welcome home, but now we're two drifting streams/
From the same ocean, but are you listening/
Ungrateful/
Some shameful/
Turn of events, after they pruned flimsy trees/
Of fatigue nude listlessly/
Then withdraw criminally/
When I moved swift and mean/
And despite what you think, shrewd, limiting/
I'll never give a fuck if you've "forgiven me"/

An Interlude To Forever

I wonder how your day was. I picture you according to the vivid visualizations you feed me exasperatedly. You scramble intently up the side of a helicopter, face grimacing, hands clenching down on life itself as you struggle to find some security during the climb. You laugh joyously with your new friends, the ones you feared you would never make, for what reason I can’t contemplate, your reasoning forever lost to my assumptions. Your hair whips back fiercely, stealing the light from the descending sun, the energy matching the fire in your seductive, ferocious eyes, and I long to bathe in that light another night. I remember the evenings we spent huddled around the warmth of a lit cigarette, dead to the world yet alive in our exile. Confined to base egregiously and unjustly for a crime you didn’t commit, you stood steadfast with inhuman grace and inspiring resoluteness, showing yourself to be stronger than I could ever be. You praised me for standing by you throughout the unjust ord...

Pushups And Squats

People are faliable and weak. So am I, as I can be grouped in with the company I just described. When we are challenged, we can be fragile and wispy, torn away from the promises weve made by the lightest of breezes. Throughout my tenure in the military, Ive made and lost great friends, courted acquaintences with numbing cordiality, and endured inexhaustible, seemingly random hatred. Ive been ostracized from groups because of my beliefs, my attitude, and the way that I carried myself. Thankfully there were always people to fall into the arms of, but I learned early on to be self-reliant. The harsh truth is that the vast majority of those you meet are wearing masks. They put on a facade of friendship, carrying along suitably as long as your companionship benefits them. As soon as you are of no use, they eschew you, shedding you like dead skin. You have two choices when confronted with this temerity. You can either fall into debasing, embarassing self-pity, or you can accept the situati...
