 the gentle scent of sweet magnolia

makes room for the constant, repetitive, droning
yet somehow soothing squee of the cicadas

i recently watched a vietnam war movie
made in vietnam
and one of the soldiers kept a cicada in his pocket
to remind him of home
right up to the day he was blown to bits

i don't know what happened to the cicada
as much as i don't know what will happen to us
if we keep all this bullshit up.
