A Fog Upon The Field, The First Cold Sighs Of Dawn

Entrenched, The Platoon Gathers To Put Their Helmets On…

[fruitsoftheape100]

Four Years We Lay In Waiting

All Huddled In The Grime

Until “At Last,” THE LIEUTENANT Said,

“I Do Believe It’s Time.”

He Brought His Bugle To His Lips;

Cold Silence Cracked Like Ice

He Blew The Horn With All His Might:

Once, Then Twice, Then Thrice

He Roused Us Then, His Soldiers Eight,

And Checked Our Bayonets.

“Let’s Rendezvous With Fate,” He Said,

“OVER THE TOP, CADETS!”

[fruitsoftheape100]

THE LIEUTENANT Led His Soldiers Then,

He Led Them Right Over The Top

One By One I Saw Them Go,

One By One I Saw Them Stop.

The First To Die Was SARGENT TONGUE,

His Body Blown To Bits

For A Stone Launched ‘Ere By Trebuchet

Did Smash The Ape To Grits

[fruitsoftheape100]

Next Went LITTLE MICKEY,

Who Passed Without A Peep

The Sneak Fell Down A Punji Pit

One Thousand Meters Deep

[fruitsoftheape100]

Then MR. RASCAL Perished,

Although His Fate I Did Not See

One Moment, There Was A Little Guy

The Next, Artillery

[fruitsoftheape100]

After That, SPOON LICKER

Charging Forward With Great Force,

Was Cut In Half Most Cleanly

By Papers Of Divorce

[fruitsoftheape100]

KILLING SPHERE, The Next One

His Death I Mustn’t Speak

All I Can Say Of The Loathsome Fellow

Is That He Simply Sprung A Leak

[fruitsoftheape100]

FUNNY GUY, I Hate To Say,

Failed To Survive The Raid

The Chap Slipped On A Banana Peel

And Was Impaled On His Own Blade

[fruitsoftheape100]

The Bell Rung Then For KINGDOM COME,

Who Had His Gun Into A Bomb Recast

The Lout Forgot This, Then Took Aim

He Perished In The Blast

[fruitsoftheape100]

That’s When THE LIEUTENANT,

Seeing His Troops’ Demise,

Turned To Me Most Solemnly

And Looked Into My Eyes:

“Go,” He Said Discreetly,

“And Let Me Die In This Disgrace;

Survive, Boy, I Beseech Thee:

Go Fuck Your Wife Posthaste.”

[fruitsoftheape100]

What Else For ME?

I Turned Away And Ran Like Never Before

And That’s How I Survived The Battle

And Fucked My Wife After The War

Lonesome cowboy with a heart of gold affirmations:

I am the most sincere patron of this saloon.

My haggard look is offset by the charming glint in my eyes.

While I do wear a gun, it weighs heavy on my belt and has never been drawn in anger.

My horse may be my only friend, but what true friends we are.

The clink of my bright silver spurs along the boardwalk draws many a lustful gaze.

Everything comes to a close eventually. Turning 30 next month and feeling more unsure than ever about my life and my future. Existence is a cruel joke.

my girl wronged by the narrative, my girl haunting her own story, my girl dead in the first act, my girl the blank in between the lines, my girl the phantom of the past the apparition of the future
