Reconciliation Begin With Recon
reconciliation begins with recon
the military observation
of a region
to locate an enemy
or ascertain
strategic features
because since practically
the beginning
there has been
a strategic divider
like Hitler
or Cover Girl magazine
a fork-tongued genius
with everything wrong
to say
reconciliation
however many people are involved
always has one more
with horns
who doesn’t want us
back together again
and who probably won’t go down
without a good fight
