Military Boots and Gadgets
Uniformed people might not tell you this
about military boots and combat suits,
but there is something about putting them on
that makes you feel very powerful
With id, ego, super-ego
all dressed up and armed,
from the moment they
put military boots on
from the first time they
disassemble
reassemble
disassemble
reassemble
disassemble and reassemble
again, an M16,
they become something less like a man
something more akin
to machine
Cops too
have military boots and gadgets
they want so badly to practice
Make the slightest move
so they can use the newest thing
If your hoodie offends them
your very lungs
the air within them
Your life itself
is at their discretion
and disposal
