picking your battles

do i avoid
conflict?
damn right i do.
do i get out of the car
and fight
the guy
who cut me off, never.
do i argue with relatives,
with sons
and daughters,
do i question
the long line at the grocery
store.
no.
i've gone a lifetime
in letting
the battles go by the wayside.
but then,
there's war.
that's different, don't
get me started.
where's
my helmet, my gun,
my sword.
