that assholes in tin hats will stop being assholes,
and that careless or caustic or even well-meaning assholes
will stop breaking hearts, not to mention bones and buildings.
Don't spread violence, worthlessness,
smack-talk, gunfire or needless sadness.
Here. I'll start.

A quadrille for De.
Shay, thank you! From one asshole to another. I love you ... and this. :)
ReplyDeleteBang-on ending. Love the mid-section, big time.
ReplyDeleteOh, from your mouth to God's ear (minus expletives, of course)! If each of us start, perhaps the arseholes will go away.
I hope for them too... I also hope to be less assholey myself.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all wish this, now more than ever. I don't know if assholery is a curable condition, but we can, of course, always hope--and without hope, there's nothing these days.
ReplyDeleteThose last two words are so important. It starts with each of us.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this spill:
"stop breaking hearts, not to mention bones and buildings"
Yes, please. Just.STOP.
Too many assholes around - breaking hearts and smashing things. This gets right to the point in a way I can really appreciate.
ReplyDeleteAPPLAUSE!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you have to do to start?
ReplyDeleteYour poems are usually enigmatic to me
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm just dense that way
But this one is as clear and direct as a punch
In a Nazi's face.
