The VA Interview

Stuart A. Chasmar

They asked him'
How you feeling?
Shoes don't hurt!
(Stepped on a land mine
In alien dirt.)
And what about you?
My hooks?
No hands
could memory tighter hold
and leave no prints.
You, man in dark glasses?
Behind them
Darker still
Brightened by a dog
shining love before me
