Discussing
eugenics & WWII
over a hearty bowl
w/ a friend I hadn’t seen
in a year, it became obvious
our priorities have
changed due to watching
the race
ramp up to go mad
as a whole,
not just individuals
the two of us laughed
healthy & bright
at the prospect of strapping
bat & shovel across our backs
in post-apocalyptic times,
because now it seems
inevitable
because now we’re at
the edge & to
be able to laugh is
the best weapon we’ve got
over a hearty bowl
w/ a friend I hadn’t seen
in a year, it became obvious
our priorities have
changed due to watching
the race
ramp up to go mad
as a whole,
not just individuals
the two of us laughed
healthy & bright
at the prospect of strapping
bat & shovel across our backs
in post-apocalyptic times,
because now it seems
inevitable
because now we’re at
the edge & to
be able to laugh is
the best weapon we’ve got
