I feel it coming
The slip between the sheets.

I left it all in San Diego,

when the butcher cut the meats.


I delivered to the Horowitz

the Perez and the Janiqua.


I delivered to the world.





Now I'm paid to kill
them.



I did it for a college
education.

to try to get ahead.

To pay a debt I thought
I had

To pay.

To Pay.

To pay.



I feel it coming

so fast
so many hundred miles
per hour.

I feel it coming







It's here.

I see my mother

I s

























end.

6. here's cummings, a WW I vet
"next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-
iful than these heroic happy dead
who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter
they did not stop to think they died instead
then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"

He spoke. And drank rapidly a glass of water
