PEOPLE WITHOUT HISTORY

History is about
Great Men.
About that,
There is no dispute.
The dispute
Is about,
which one
Is yours
And which one
Is mine.
So
Let’s have
a duel
I’ll slit your throat
and you slit mine.

There is no dispute.
History was,
Is,
And will be,
Always
about Great Men.
The moths
hovering over the
flames
at their altars,
You, me, and
all the people
without history,
You choose
Your fire,
And I will
choose mine.
