my father said that war was evil, but if it came he would
revel in it like sand in a storm

war is here, in your house,
war walks with you
on the way to work
when you step to smoke a cig
war, too, stops, and stays(?) by you.
war is interested in you, you see,
and walks(?) with you to work .
war sits in your sofa to check
the renes that you select.
when you wrestle with your worries,
war is watching, wide awake,
war stands ~~by your bed~~ and stares,
with motherly intimacy,
by your bed, bidding time
~~………~~
til the dawn starts ~~bed~~ the day,
~~…~~ & you wake up, & war walks
with you, war rules(?nues?)
in red, red leather.
