This Isn't a War Story

but a layer of war around every hard-
boiled egg, running through what looks like
open ground
and as if the newspaper
were striking on the hour
Who’s this girl’s-
best-friend, who is the next
term in the sequence
suffering
a term of art

Touch
is a sharp right
I know
I’m good

a self-serve
wind brushing back the hair
of the head, the soft hair
of the face and arms
all tops and bottoms

I want to say: end
truck lane restrictions
I
want to say: end
program
I want
to say: end
to representation

WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HERE
where
each meat hangs from its own hook
