King of Macedonia
What’s in a name
or a date
such as Alexander the Great
or three twenty-three before Christ
Questions such as these
lead to others
uncovering a string of
undefeated battles
ranging across vast regions
How is it the war
within man
is unstoppable
as if the original instructions
flowing through the bloodstream
had been altered
by a God with a wry sense of humor
november two thousand twenty-one
