Your anti-war poems are some of my favorite poetry on substack. Keep it up!

That second stanza was intense, I had to stop and come back to it! Strong poem!

Well, if it ruins hot dogs for you -- consider it a nutritional gift :)

It's hard not to read this in your actual voice!

It's funny you said this. Because as I was reading this back I feel like there could be a version of this that "flows better." And I tried a version where I tweaked it a bit and came back to the original.

So there could be a version of this that is "better" but I did feel it was very "in tune" when I clicked publish. But maybe that's what we should be trying for anyway.

Thanks Alexander!
