The Forever I Feared

Listen to poem:
The Forever I Feared 
David J  Walker

The Forever I feared
would last 
Three years
Before I  knew
The Army wasn’t really 
Meant to be forever 
Or was it?
	Or is it?
As I try and write 
It’s past explanation again
Where I am
		Or have been
In the prose of perfect since  
In the cadence of marching 
	Backward into 
The perfect future tense
