One Marine’s Tale
Mike didn’t want
destabilizing democratically
elected governments on the
other end of his sniper rifle,
so he took his place
unemployed watching
lines grow like lions’ tails
watching his boys
video games making over
their easy going masculinity
into serviceable product, and
the post traumatic stress
disorder diagnosis
following him around had
nothing to do with war time
atrocities, or a well placed
shot, rather being deployed
by upward mobility
mapmaker bureau
so far down range at home as
to be a fringe area non-factor
