Captain Dan Luckett

Just got word:

“Double amputee returns

to war in Afghanistan.”

Context: I was proud

of spray painting shelves

replacing light bulbs

mowing two weeks worth

of growth.


A double amputee returns to war.


I did some laundry

repaired a lamp

watched a bad movie

spent money on

things not needed


A double amputee returns

to war.


I unloaded the dishwasher

poured myself a drink

watched GI Joe cartoons:

the real American Hero

poured myself another drink


A double amputee returns

to war.

Yo Joe.
