walking over me 
territorily 
like...

Blank page syndrome
feels like full page longing
to be done with some work project
that will not slowly grow worthy 
of my time
and certainly no captivated reader.

Who seek only to pillage then plunder her 
All those faces leering, cajoling,...

Our beloved armed forces
In the US - of - A,
Are resigned in full measure
To the prices they pay.
