if george patton talked to general westmoreland,
would they get along?
did the soldiers have it easier
forging the shenandoah or the mekong?
were they more scared of bright faces in the desert
or darker ones against the swamp?
i wonder, the guts at right angles to bayonets,
fanned out by land mines,
stenciled by cannonballs,
connected between little pieces of shot,
slatted through with grenade fragments,
do they all look the same?
