Mikey's Summer vacation
He sent a photo album today
On Facebook.
He called it
My Summer Vacation.
He had taken photos of his base
In Iraq
Then himself
In full battle gear.
I still see him sitting
A pile of Leggos all around him
I cannot digest the thought…
My son
In Iraq
Toting an M4…..

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
