< not with yellow flowers >

[rayheinrich]

what is going on with these line breaks?

End of line denotes a slight pause and/or end of phrase.
Blank line indicates a longer pause and/or end of stanza.
My other poems are (mostly) like this as well. I don't enjoy
cutting thoughts (or delivery) in pieces just to make the lines
even. Though, oddly enough, I do regular old comments this
way. Hmmm...

i placed my yellow flower
in the muzzle of his rifle
and said

"peace man"

then
got shot in the face

them soldier's
don't fuck with yellow flower
shit

Use a bigger flower next time.
If the diameter of the stem is large enough, his/her damn rifle
will explode. Then the last line will be: "don't fuck with yellow flowers"
