V/er’/a/city

John G. Young, MD

 

 

Truth, no stranger to fiction,

as reality betrays movies,

explosions

color the screen

with bombb(l)ast.

No gorilla (sic) warfare.

[if animals c/would be as cruel as we.]

Like British foot-solders,

dressed in formation,

thousands off to work,

our god stronger than theirs,

[or so we thought]

mowed down by less than twenty

timed to the minute-men,

musketeers behind mounds,

flying at knifepoint

into not one but two,

towers of babble

now become rubble,

as more heat than light,

in the struggle for

human consciousness,

steals steel strength,

soft human parts inside,

unexpected complicity

of an exo-skeletin

collapsing on itself.
