Notes on Men

Stupid with them

Dumb

Intelligence dissipating

Into the nothingness

Of the abyss

That yawns, awakening

To embrace 

The latest victim

Take back thy power

I’m told

Like it is as easy as that

Of course I try

I fight

An uneasy enfolding calm

Ensuing result

Lulled

Canoe on Volta Lake

Treacherous waves

Suddenly overturned

Spilled bowl of salted popcorn

So no sugar ants

No witness but me

To the fall 

Of Jericho
