Lost Gain
Three years and I am
movement ready,
on I realise.
But I can't
get it quite,
as I'm passed
the finishing need,
a traumatic reaction
of stress
assess-
ment.
Three years and I am
looking better:
fatter,
greyer,
with rotten teeth...
the premature wrinkle,
my war hero.
For smiling unforgivably.
