Repetition is a consistent pattern

that reminds me too much

of pointless armies preparing

to kill off their own across boundaries,

across seas.

Thesaurus:

contains all the untitled colors

to smear armies into laughter -

into jokes — because then they

would be reminded that they have

different faces that behold life stories

each.

Thesaurus:

doesn’t make things dangerously

the same to make a story

nor screams poems that imitate each other

as this doesn’t create real stories at all,

but monotonous imitations that eventually become

one voice louder, louder, louder

that my brain cells may bleed

and go pop! pop! pop!

Thesaurus:

a backup plan of mine to cure myself

from sameness.
