poem time on line at the dmv

re-redundancy redux


every night, every night;
the light, the light;
of might, of might;
flashes bright, flashes brightly;
on our father, on our fathers;
on our forefathers:

wwII again.
wwII on the tube.

watch our way, watch our way into glory!
[glory, not gory]
death, dying in the living room.
a life feeds, a life feeds on other lives...

remember when...remember when?


a world in black and white; a black and white world.
it's just war, a just war.
no 'maybe'; no 'maybe' in our might.
the might; our might and the zeit was right
for the last time; last time.
the last time our might was right....

...was wwII.
feels so good to view---
unless you were there,
out of the chair:

with no remote;
not remote,
but close.
up close,
close up
a long shot...
