Bullet Points
What is not worth aiming at
survives to pull a thousand more triggers.
Squib rounds from damp pop-guns
later are recorded as wisdom.
Hacks have a smaller target
on their backs than original thinkers.
No use to wail or gripe,
mud churns
worms irrigate, self-mate,
the odd unique bloom
grows unnoticed
until stumbled upon
or trampled over.
