Lawrence Hall, HSG
I Met a Man in Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital Parking Lot
He looked at my brand-new knock-off
boonie hat
Pointed to himself, and said “1970”
He rattled on about “Come and Take
It” flags
And the “stupid mother******s” who
fly them
“The mother****ing VC wanted to do
that
And so I shot them d**n’ mother******s”
His wife was waiting for him,
impatiently
Sadly, sadly, heard-it-all-before-ly
For he had been no closer to Viet-Nam
Than to some John Wayne movie
