I Guess There Was A War Going

The Soldier Had Stamped My Passport Family In Heavy Black Capital Letters And I Checked It Now For Reassurance And Because I Liked How Fierce The Word Looked

If There Was Ever A More Perfect Day In The History Of Time It Isn't One I've Heard About.

I Felt A Momentary Urge To Leap Into The Sea And Swim Free Of The Present.

I Didn't Seem To Have That Effect On Anyone But It Would Have Been A Waste For Both Of Us To Be Saints.

Every War Has Turning Points And Every Person Too.
