Recipe for Soldiers.
dish: Soldiers for War
recipe: take the 30s’ depression
/ mix with the 80s’
regression / sprinkle wars of
the 40s & teens / & stir
in the 50s’ & 60s’ inequalities /
sample tastes of earlier
times / like 90s’ songs / &
shower in the 70s’ social
& political wrongs / Now stir—
‘til the distinction of times
dissolves / then sense
security to feel issues
were resolved / then cover
& heat with fear.
