Remembering Desert Shield

and all the work

I did

putting together

wooden containers

for missile loaders

so we could win

this fucking war

and all I’m thinking

is “Gimme a beer”

and “I don’t wanna die.”

but I clocked in

every morning

and worked my job

and got the work out

no matter what

and it got thru better

without any despair

or any hopes

of getting out of it
