how he spoke
was like the words
were behind him
were behind him
like a motorway truck
laying a line
of traffic cones
this was prose
this was prose
in the print queue
& it dovetailed
& no torpedo polemic
& it dovetailed
into the subject -
an old war diary
an old war diary
its urgency logged long ago
on the boats & beachheads
& in the elephant grass
& scanned now
& scanned now
for download
as a learning resource
