Session Poetry



History 101

I pour another and another
and brood on the bloody brilliance
of mankind

breaking and beating and butchering
his way to the top of the food chain
and then repeat,

but never learning a damn thing
as he looks down the barrel
of another gun

in another time in another place,
perplexed as to how and why he
suffers so.

So I pour another and another
and resolve to never repeat
my mistakes.
