Armies

by Ryan Quinn Flanagan

The armies of Napoleon marched
for glory.

The armies of Hitler
for vengeance.

The armies of workday feet
that march outside
my morning window

march without purpose
or direction.

Some have briefcases
and others throw breadcrumbs

and a few hawk bibles
to anyone
who will listen.
