The Enlistment

The Enlistment
David J Walker

 As if a brave character in
A sad play he marched
In heavy boots to the old bus station
Feigning courage in the face of
Every uncertainty

Counting on the five fears
a soldier tries to hide
from anyone who asks why

His life is not his own
Maybe he'll come home
only if he’s lucky
and someone
else isn’t
