Happy and Unhappy

By Ben Nardolilli

Go, be the devil’s samurai.

It’s only confusion.

You may think this is Satori

yet foxhole glory can come to anybody.

While you’re at it, seize all the endings.

It can’t stop the whisper of death upon the horizon,

but who cares?

They’re for external use only.
