Veteran's Valentine

A line is but an exhausted circle

as prose is to poem

one day he said

he loved the smell

of marriage-I-wanna

in the morning

but in the evening

refused to be

a soldier in their salvation

would rather run

into a gallery or

downtown empty bar

than write about

the anger in the world

and almost all of it made up

out of made up things

the slow machinery

of waves and dreams.
