from St. Apples

The war is always there but we do not go there.
***
The tools of war are always there and there are always the tools of war. The tools of war
are used. War makes them useful. The tools of war and the war is between their eyes and
my eyes and your eyes. The war tools. The war is over there.
***
The people in the war are there with the war. The war keeps going though some people
do not.
***
The people have the war and the war is between the people. The people fight over
ground. The war is about the ground. The ground is between the people and the war. A
ground war. The war and the people are about the ground. The ground over there. The
ground between us is not where the war is because the war is always over there. The war
between you and I is just the war.
***
You and I were here when the war began. When the war there began over there. We
were presented with information about the war but the war was always there. Even at the
brink of the war. When I read about the war to you the war was between us. The war
began there. When you read about the war to me the war was between us.
***
You and I do not talk about the war. The people in the war talk about the war and the
people that are not in the war talk about the war. You and I do not talk about the war.
***
The war and the war’s reflection are interchangeable. The “war” and the “reflection” are
interchangeable. The reflection is where the war was.
