Well Versed

POETRY: Protest by David Floyd

Remember that time in insert year
when we marched through insert town or city
to march against insert America
after they invaded insert country?

You know that bright pink insert article of clothing
I wore and how insert person said
insert comment
and we all said insert reaction. I'm sure
I've still got it somewhere in insert location

I suppose that what it's like when
you're insert age
and you're so completely sure that
insert worldview.
You just think you can insert expected outcome, don't you?
