U.S. Soldier With Traumatic Stress Disorder Syndrome, Post Iraq

Deeper down the tubes there’s an out-of-box experience, A self-healing fiber optic ring that offers more response time To whatever microbrew ales you ought to be in pixels. They removed guns pointed at our heads because We were from the same country where the weapons were manufactured, Not because she was so good at polishing her lip with a thumbnail. The algebra of justice knows nothing about triangulation, Only tit for tat and how we waited all night for day As we recited bed-time stories for the dead. God told Oprah he didn’t want to pretend he’s something he’s not, Said his favorite team is the Purple Cobras And his favorite hangout a little airplane hanger in Missouri, The same place where dead bees once turned honey into sunlight And where people now double-park for coffee or run in to get Dry cleaning and where I remain in the country of my jet lag Not knowing where I am, but knowing at the same turntable, This has not been a good day for love or socially acceptable Narcotics. I’m in your time zone now, baby. Bad credit, no problema.
