off the hook,

free at last,

no regrets;

an outcome's cast

the race still runs

walks, sits & stands,

biology binds,

w/ alloy bans

must run, must foul

not my job,

not my fault;

treaty-bound, my weaponry

in their vault

spines stiffen up,

push comes to shove,

suck life from joy

then talk of love

crisis passed,

we're home at war:

on drugs, poverty,

always on Them,

and

(unconsciously)

the self

abhor
