And They Leave Us Alone...


Wannabees always seem to know

who the really tough guys are

Their carriage indefinable

 though marked by every scar

 

The pheromones of conquest

 carried by the chosen few

Who rumble through the tallest grass

—swallowing what they chew

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2022)
