he smoked a cheap cigar  glanced through an article in The Nation   Endless War   as monied and advertised as Viagra

but Viagra doesnt cut a guy down in the prime of his life

dick  --  theres a reason why it aint working

you deserve your heart attack (the young girl deserves her freak out  or maybe she doesnt  maybe she just put another notch into a leather belt she stole or made a tallymark in her diary  and her words   Ill fuck you to death

were of deadly context)

no matter 

                  your money a young dead GI would never have made is tucked safely away for generations

as you intended

as if you did them any favors

a generation later  the grandkids  they wont remember you 

just the Franklins youve anonymously plied them

maybe theyll visit your marble stone tomb

if your kids force them

otherwise

dead meat

theres no difference between you and younger dead meat   

                                                                                                except maybe

your meat is whole

your peace

their pieces

if in fact their pieces are theirs
