Non-Emotional Assembly Points

by Paul Tristram / October 17th, 2021

“… Tenderness?
I just don’t understand
… isn’t that like,
you know when you…
hurt yourself, right
… yeah, and it’s sore?
Who the hell
wants to feel like that
when they’re Fucking?
Stupid people…
I’m far too busy
‘Doing The Dirty’
… and notching
my [butchered] Rifle…
for all that ‘Sensitive’
bollocks and nonsense!”
