I read one time
Don’t ask me where
That the first person on record
With my family name
Was arrested in what is now Wales
Charged with
“Illicit dealing in quilted plaids”.
My family fought no wars
Nor seized the reins of power.
My family dealt in quilted plaids.
FORD
2022
War often are seized,
by fits of identity,
why if you are not one of us
we’ll raise such a fuss
and write our own histories.
