Come home.
Catch your
Breath.
Quick

Peaceful,
Happy,
Good.

No!

Functionless,
Obsolete,
Inferior.

Is that what
You want?

Misguided,
Afraid.

Have confidence!
Homesick. Wanting the comforts of home. Overcoming those feelings. Arguing with the self

That night,

I’ve never
Mentioned it.
Such things are not for…
We watched
The end.
The last, grim fool(s)…
(gentle sobbing)
Go!
A terrible memory, a terrible secret?
A terrible memory, a terrible secret?

Together,
Together,
Together [we]
Push theory,
Supply instruction,
Anything WE did
Was fun.
It didn’t matter.

Contrariwise

Me [and] he [were] not
Natural, right,
Obvious.

Odd look[s]
Stop.
Free choice.
Volunteer.
Found out,
Out of your mind.
A predictable stage.

Grow up,
Too valuable.

Sick.

the words on the page and the military are both charged with homoerotic undercurrents. Obvious to everyone, admitted by no one. I can't imagine the difficulty, until most recent times, of living such a life

I never intended
the disgrace
late in my years.

Thinking, I suppose,
Of the idea.
Then It…
Had not It,
With dead seriousness,
Done everything…?

 

The idea of an ideology being blamed for someone's actions is interesting to me. Taking the idea of citizenship one more step further into abstraction than limiting it to humans and corporations. And the words to make a poem about it were just lying around on the page..
