February 8, Soldier Game

1. Spend most of your life
using machine guns and chainsaws
to fight every urge.
2. Fill a hot tub with carbonated water.
3. Carve magical runes into the backs of dead heretics.
4. Slap an ”on sale” sticker onto your forehead.
5. Pay for your cable with grey, lifeless skin.
6. Slip off into the night.
7. Leave behind nothing but a thin mist — a truce… of sorts.
