a neat trick I
cannot recommend.
The “looking past” at what lies beyond
comes natural,
but only at the end.
Makes no difference to the insurgents
that the government
makes in my name,
still I try to make a new friend for each one of them;
though, of course, I can’t
but I’m improved all the same.
I’m sure my team won’t come out ahead in the end,
but then war’s not
the way that I like to win –
you can’t add up losses to find what anything cost when
you can’t measure
how much things were meaning…
