IS and IS NOT

To The IED Once Strapped Outside My Chest,

I am still wrapped around
and bound to you in flesh

and the shrapnel you set free
is now, in effect, only pieces of me

unwound in multiplicity to clothe the four winds
in cipher and logic dressed down as zeros and ones.

By the way, thank you, Ferris. I don't know where my manners have gone these days.

If I could like a comment, Ferris, I would do just simply that--as I'm sure you know, overexposure leads to absence of curiosity.

Like a ballad to the death of innocence.

You always manage to pack so much power into short lines, it's always a refreshing read.

Be well.?
