Drawing a Cartoon of Myself Shitting on a Tank


Painting by Kristina Pardue



Drawing a Cartoon of Myself Shitting on a Tank

rumi pondered
the meaning of
armies

picasso painted
quernica with
his own blood

I write these
words from
the ashes of

your apathy
burned to
warm my fingers

armies mean
the powerful
smell an opportunity

artists can behead
themselves for
all the generals care

my words will
flow till you
tire of the smoke
