Rummy’s ramblings
in a leaked memo
of a drowning man
in a sea of blood
who doesn’t know if he’s
sinking or swimming
he keeps killing and spending
but new enemies keep coming
at bargain prices
it’s just like peaking
during an acid trip
War!
without boundaries
of measurement
can not know
if i’m really moving
and in what direction
War!
cannot know
if it’s a great victory
or just me
choking and dying
in my own rage.
