The whole world seems to be armed with the 7.62 x 39mm SKS or AK-47… including crows I suppose… read your interview with Jake Berry… very interesting. I like this style of poetry, even though I don’t always get it. I like the way the words bump up against one another.
Like Don Van Vliet, A.K.A. Captain Beefheart, used to say: “Brickbats fly my fireplace”

Another fine poem Alan. Razor sharp and the bitter truth. You write poems that you see and then they see you. Bravo!
Damned fine, Alan!
Thanks, guys!
