By MAYA GREEN
A simple jungle boy
Aspiring
To be an eager warrior
With a sharp, deft blade
But with a heart — that’s changed!
In constant search, always
Of the meaningful
And, of nothingness
Where zero is total gain
And annihilation — is aliveness!
That’s the deft blade at work
It takes no prisoners
It conquers all
And victory is complete
Only when there is — Total defeat!
