Listen to poem:

Icymi

ICYMI 
David J Walker

I
Tbh 
There seems to be 
a reason for it all
The call 
for everything unexplained
explained  
Icymi  
It was a game 

To await 
		The fate
Of one side  
	Or the other
Calling your name
	IRL 

II
In fact
	They didn’t really 
choose you at all
did they
Nor you them
	Idc
The uneasy peace extends 
18 years 
	But Iag
	anyway

III
And btw
	Thanks for the genetics
The DNA 
Mechanics of
The blueprints of life
Now
	I am tasked to
Overcome 
	And 
pass along
some better 
	unfettered concern
	as yet 
Tbc 

IV 
YOLO 
	Preached father
YOLO 
	Preached Mother
YOLO
	Preached the preacher
But
	IDK
	FOMO 
Is a factor

Glad I listened to this - sounds much better than my reading in my head. Very nice, IMHO, David.
