inslumnational, underground
black marks
better than red? you'll see
only when you're plucked
from mother's arms, pawned
to freedom -- shucked
from lists of men into the drive,
squeezed through tubes
so tight you're chopped -- frozen, fried,
then frozen, fried again -- last
salted, bloodied, chewed. freedom? lies.
this is war -- in their eyes, we're all just bastards
fattening up the flag.
