Michael County – Revelation #9


Michael County

Revelation #9

’s no business like it
the soft shoveling

of dissent.
Where were the helpless
warriors

the mean expectations of their lives
cut into strips

candy-colored now
eaten by all
digested by few

That green parka in the
picture—

still got it?
