Taste

It will come, 
and I rejoice
(for the victims). 

But even if I live to 120, 
I want none of it. 

I want a clean break 
from the blood-soaked 
2000-millennium history 
of our race.

Nor is it to our credit
that we wouldnā€™t give up the taste
till we could get the same
from another brand.

It makes no amends,
to them,
were amends possible.
