he killed another man
in that humid, verdant hell,
he had his M-16 on full automatic
and when his enemy surprised him
reflex and recoil took over
and he cut the black pajamed man in half
lengthwise
and one part fell forward,
and the other fell backward.
And when I heard this, at age 18,
as in a Zen story,
I was enlightened.
