Veteran Preference

The form asked

‘veteran or not’

and I checked not

though I am

but seek 

no preference

from a war

that stole my pride.

Consumers Rejoice

It’s good to know

when the world ends

there will be time

for a commercial break

to numb our grief

and distract our mind.

Consumers rejoice

to the end of time.
