Poetry from Keith Landrum

An Example Of War

save your money

don’t throw it away
on me
there’s plenty
of others
out there
trying
to make
a buck
or some shit
whatever
they are
in
too
save it
you’ll need it
later
maybe
you need
it now
I don’t
know
shit about
anything I just
call ’em
as I see
those assholes
you’ve seen
them dressed
better
but not better
perfect teeth
guilty smile
sleeping
with Lucifer’s
last whore
you’ve seen those
assholes
I don’t know
what you’ve seen
outside
of that
but I’ve
seen enough
to know
I am
so sick
of seeing
the smile
of the American Flag
time clock
I have holes
in the head
heart
and liver
they are right
at a 1/2″ wide
about 70
or 80
of those
fuckers
this is one
of them
