there are four men inside of me
and they are always at war.
the boys drink their whisky and
plug big round red holes of hate
in each oth­er. when they get
low on ammo they patch each oth­er
up, pass around the bot­tle and
take pot­shots at passer­by.
after awhile they make enough
to go buy some more ammo and
whisky. when they leave I run
out and pick up the shells.
if I hold one up to my ear
some­times I hear me whis­per­ing.
