Flag On The Play

This phase line we built and named after the daughter of our captain

 

oh 

 

captain ran west out of the Triangle of Death and south from Baghdad

 

wish  I had chosen phase line Danielle name for the daughter of our 

 

1st el tee

 

but in war who can tell or even 2nd guess  yes  guess I did my best

 

and we bested along Amanda all along until the improvised blast

 

that wasn’t 

 

alas

 

so improvised but actualized hot and sudden and brunt and abrupt

 

and true

 

Amanda, darling girl, is where I got phased out of a certain line of

 

life

 

Blink

 

an eruption of force and heat that you don’t understand comprehend

 

and the end is unremembered

 

You just wake up to the present and to the future surrounded by nurses

 

whose eyes leave unsaid what you understand instead - - - - 

 

It’s like someone took a 2 x 4 and smacked you in the back of the head

 

Again

 

Again

 

and again and again and again and again and again again again again

again again again again

 

comprehend

 

again again again again again again again again again again again again

 

The burning and the blast and the heat and the smack and all the fuck all

 

where with all

 

We just came to deliver soccer balls
