font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">It's not the words that
matter, not the stories or the poems. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">Listen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">All energy is used, and
then there's nothing. I approach the page with my hands on fire. I read what
I've written with my tongue cut out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">This is the century,
and we've abandoned rules. Children starve so that the war may be fought. The
dead are counted carefully, and are labeled. "Good". "Bad".
"Accidental".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And there was a goal at
some point, but we've lost it. There was reason for this bloodshed, a need for
these words.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">There was the woman in
my bed who said she had to leave. Said her husband would be home soon. And we
had talked for hours, and I couldn't remember anything we'd said. I missed my
children, but knew I would still end up yelling at them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And she showered, then
got dressed. Said she'd call, then she drove away, and it was snowing. It was
grey, the lawns all brown, the houses dirty white, and the air smelled of
gasoline and burning. I could still taste her.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">It was energy spent on
going nowhere. It was all of the reasons my wife had for leaving. Said she
wasn't happy. Said she'd met someone else, and it wasn't her words that
mattered. It was her actions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">It was the fact that
I'd already stopped loving her.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And so I approach the
page with my eyes gouged out I stand on the edge of a vast desert. What I
believe in is my father's fear. A thousand miles away from home when he decided
to stop drinking, and he ended up strapped to a hospital bed with blood running
down his cheeks. Ended up screaming at people who weren't there, and it was my
mother who flew down to drive him home.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">It was my sister and
her boyfriend who started the fire while they were gone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And these things
happen, and you think that they're the stories. You think they matter, that
they have beginnings and endings, but it's a lie.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">You can't pick up the
paper with your hands cut off. You can't win a war against people who are
willing to sacrifice their own children.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">Look at the rape camps.
The amputee camps. The world is full of human atrocities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And so who is it that
decides which wars we'll fight? How big a factor is profit in these decisions?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">Don't kid yourself when
you answer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">Don't believe that your
answers will matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">Look at Pollock, at the
energy that went into what he made. Look at what was left.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And I was 21 when my
grandfather killed himself. I was 27 when Cobain put the gun to his head. And
there was a woman, a minister's wife, who disappeared Was found a week later
wrapped in a dirty blanket and thrown from a bridge onto some railroad tracks seventy
miles north of here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">I was working the day
the dishwasher found her dress in the dumpster behind the restaurant I was hung
over and sore. Had spent the night in a motel room with three other guys and
two girls. Couldn't remember either of the girls' names, but I thought I'd fucked
them both. I thought most of it had been filmed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And the trucker was
found, and he was sentenced, and then a fourteen month old baby was killed in
the shithole town I'd grown up in. Was locked in his room by the babysitter,
and the thermostat was put up to eighty five, and he was left there for two days.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And did I mention my
own children? Two boys, six and three, and I'm terrified of all the things I
can't protect them from. Flyers arrive in the mail, two or three a week, mug
shots of recently paroled child molesters mailed out by the police department, and
I think to myself <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Why aren't we killing
these people? Why aren't we shipping them off to die in our wars?</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">And my six year old
comes home with bruises on his arms and a story about being hit by a bully on
the bus. And I want to find this little fucker and choke him to death. I want
to burn his house to the ground with his parents still inside. And two weeks later
he and my son are best friends, but he still needs to pay. I still need an eye
for an eye.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">This is how the poems
are written. This is how the stories are told. Everything starts with a rush of
anger and ends in fear. The words are laid down in blood, then the pages are
burned Nothing is left but the hands that commit the acts. Nothing is left but
the people who survive.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #f1a983; font-family: "Perpetua",serif; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;">None of it was ever

lunch counter and waiting for Cathy's shift to end. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Waiting to drive up to the lake, waiting to
get drunk and get laid, and I shoot her a smile from across the dining room,
and she licks her lips and blows me a kiss.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bfbfbf; font-family: "Kyiv Machine"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

in the truckers' cups, and on the front page of the local news section of the
paper I see a story about a kid I went to high school with. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No one I was friends with, but a face I knew,
a quiet guy named Allen, can't really remember if I ever even heard him speak,
and what it says is that he's dead. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Says
his truck went off the highway at three in the morning, hit a bridge abutment
at better than seventy miles an hour, and the picture looks like it's from the
yearbook, his smiling face airbrushed free of pimples, five years left to live,
and I'm not really sure how much this news is supposed to matter. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'm not sure how I'm supposed to react.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bfbfbf; font-family: "Kyiv Machine"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

not much else, and I fold it up and set it on the stool next to me. The sun is
too bright, even through the tinted windows. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My head starts to pound in time to the music.
I finish up my Pepsi, set the glass back in the ring of condensation its made,
and Cathy walks by, lays a check face down in front of me, keeps walking back
into the kitchen. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I turn it over, and
she's drawn a heart, a smiley face, a sun.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

replace it. Conversations step forward, the clinking of silverware, of plates
and glasses, the sound of the dishwasher roaring to life from somewhere behind
the deep fryer, and it comes to me from out of nowhere, how much I hate this
place. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How many years I'll waste working
here or at other jobs that I'll hate just as much, how Cathy will become Lisa,
and then Nikki, and then Tina, and then here we are.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

god. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have no clue what happened to Cathy
after we broke up, but I remember her on that afternoon, hot and sticky in the
tiny bedroom of a cabin that belonged to her parents. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Told me she loved me, and maybe she meant it,
and I said it back, and her hair smelled like flowers when I pressed my face
against her neck. Her fingers traced circles around her nipples, mine drew a
path over her stomach, down through her pubic hair, between her lips, and she
arched her back against them. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
blind to everything else. We were through with words.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bfbfbf; font-family: "Kyiv Machine"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bfbfbf; font-family: "Kyiv Machine"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bfbfbf; font-family: "Kyiv Machine"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bfbfbf; font-family: "Kyiv Machine"; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: background1; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br /></span></p><p></p>john sweethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03753230843706742184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828951.post-434244409972611112024-02-29T06:06:00.001-05:002024-02-29T06:06:02.462-05:00A SECRET PLACE TO BURY ENEMIES<p> </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqLxaJsy1bjtE6qtR_m892eYJ0Vx27O8K7b6BmL7qvWPC88PskycgYmAScwDPff0GkcF3LrT6eOuJuzdwXFCps7P-rIYNpOhn90Bh_dIT-h853VWGRgfAO0iXcZyRSlpVbZyN0f3hp-_MFVib8lGSLJH6V7liNDCDyJg-SoBkbOhO5s0xmtOIjg/s4000/20231230_110128.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqLxaJsy1bjtE6qtR_m892eYJ0Vx27O8K7b6BmL7qvWPC88PskycgYmAScwDPff0GkcF3LrT6eOuJuzdwXFCps7P-rIYNpOhn90Bh_dIT-h853VWGRgfAO0iXcZyRSlpVbZyN0f3hp-_MFVib8lGSLJH6V7liNDCDyJg-SoBkbOhO5s0xmtOIjg/w480-h640/20231230_110128.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>john sweethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03753230843706742184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828951.post-65124790534450808132024-02-23T16:50:00.000-05:002024-02-23T16:50:29.515-05:001974 and your pants around your ankles<p> </p><p><br /></p><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4e95d9; font-family: OldNewspaperTypes; font-size: 28.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #4E95D9; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=50000 lumo=50000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 128;">DEBUT
