#76 this we'll destroy

got a girl overseas
patriotic weapon by her pillow
full of taxpayer ammunition
as cnn scares my nightmares

decal ribbons on my toyota
support our troops
all i can do
her empty pillow fights tears
lonesome
helpless
angry

and no one knows why you're there
daniel's sandwiches fall apart
before the lunch bell rings
he shows
the few pictures we receive
brags
collector sports cards

and i know you're due home soon
and i pray to the one i curse
that you'll make it

but what then?
