They Should Have Killed All The Poets In WWI

That way no one would  have  even  noticed

the holocaust or Hiroshima as more than a “gee”

or, “wow”….but they couldn’t kill all the poets

because poets were always  being born like the

human spirit, life itself, if you like, again and again,

so, what,   you’re putting your money on this little

world?  Well,  Honey, if this world hasn’t surprised

you yet,  maybe you’d better look a little closer…

as far as the poets go,  since everything goes on

forever:  I wouldn’t worry.
