WAR = BALLET

a saw for the legs

a happy face under

helmets of pink and lace

camo.


we are the happy

and dutiful

soldiers

in our holy battles,


fearing

none but a

familiar enemy

who looks

strangely like

us.


"kill them,"

the worshipful master

said. "humiliate

the ones you've captured."

"torture, without mercy," until

they either admit the truth

or adapt to yours."


"da da dadaa... love one another.."

i sang.
