IN MY OUTPOST OF PROGRESS

Like Carrier and Kayerts

down to drinking black coffee

(I have sugar, but not good

for my blood-pressure),

and eating mere rice,

but I have the salt

lacking from them,

and black pepper and

chili sauce to flavour it;

& like Carrier and Kayerts,

the clumsy, unintended

sacrifice of others' lives

on my shredded conscience.
