[ID: A quote on Goodreads by Shane Koyczan. It reads, "I've been told/ that people in the army/ do more by 7:00 am/ than I do/ in an entire day // But if I wake/ at 6:59 am/ and turn to you/ to trace the outline of your lips/ with mine/ I will have done enough/ and killed no one/ in the process." /end ID]
