"laugh, and the world laughs with you. laugh hysterically, and for no apparent reason, and they will leave you alone." anonymous


One man stares at stone,
Polished until he sees,
Reflections behind the names,
Of comrades lost at sea:

Air Force, Army,
Navy Seal,
The blood of war,
Is all that’s real:

One man stares at
Stone stares back,
Holding emotion
That faces lack.

The names they gleam;
The faces they stream;
Jungle sweat in the morning,
On rotted green leaves,
He grieves.
