My mead marble composition book-
made in vietnam?!?
…the book that I hold closest to me?

-that was the war that the media turned into a movie…

shot from a bunker
for all archie bunkers and meatheads
to cast reel to reel.

real big fish, that dick nixon
-one of the two biggest dicks this world’s ever seen
but at least we stripped him of his dignity.

Hey!… good news…
30 years after intense chemical warfare
stripped trees of their leaves
and ripped skin off the bones of the Vietnamese
they make mead
marble composition notebooks…

Gee… I wonder…
what will Iraq be producing for us
30 years down the road from now?
