StudentsA Poem by NicoleMorning march to technical training school.Three hundred walking in step, across the flight line some minutes past five in the morning swinging flashlights, Lackland lasers in unison. Chopped breathing from mouths beneath camouflage brims orange clouds slowly roll off the waking Texas sun sweat begins beading as the schoolhouse grows closer, the march yawns further the blue rope calls out to the formation demanding a halt to his mass of unskilled, badge-less volunteers. They are starched and polished, and they readily come to attention. © 2009 Nicole |
