Poetry of Issue 9: Intolerance

Intolerance

On the mantle,

Dogs, parents, the past…

Ground into a fine powder

Plant a tree with it

Show it tours of your home

Let women who infiltrate the cavern know the history.

I could be anything

I chose this,

                                                 To make you aware that you aren’t aware

Reconciliation is not an alternative

This is the sweetest fruit from the most thoughtless of trees

Ask your local produce person

“Where did you set such a ripe piece-“

With a hand to their heart they’ll say the truism of all truisms

“He knows his harvest, he knows his crop, you are the idolator just eating what he bore.”

I didn’t tell them to say it

Just one of those intellectual so and so’s

Who got it right,

For once.
