Scrape a flounder
on a new piece of lumber.
Crack the egg on a stone
and drink it down.
War was such a sweet taste
when you’re in the base camp
and the sun is shining.
For now sleep boldly
in the middle of the day
and dream your life
the way it might have been.
Give the woman a name,
any name that suits you.
Don’t worry about dying until tomorrow.
Make them sweat it out.
