Our Labor of Love

(illustration: Theodor Kittelsen)
Our Labor of Love
must be zero profit so
I pm the post mortem
post-modern PM

On the nO now
       I said nothing

and watched them carry
the careless corpse

away
and a way opened

for us to Love
the Children
of Time

because the C.T. scan
never said nothing
it must have been
always there

like freedom,
not liberated from
responsibility

but from Received Pronunciation
Yes, the word is viral

and sheer poetry,
like justice

that by not caring
you can't save
the heart
you think you
don't have

from the pain you inflict
without giving a fuck
you always fuck yourself

by this law
some call karma

pointless armament
adds to the dada of it

why rock back and forth,
when you can go somewhere
like the primitives who almost
left no trace
nor waste

as they found
their way
out?

Why lock and load
in conflicts of old,
that could have been squared
then just as much as now?

It can't have been all sold
from under us and that's it.

Our Labor of Love
will never be slavery.
