It's thirty degrees, but they sweat like it's summer in Baghdad, curse like soldiers, swear to God they'll see you burn in Hell. You could fall in love with boys like these: so earnest, so eager, so ready to do whatever you ask, full of themselves and the world. How do you tell them it's not that simple? How do you tell them: question it all? Question everything. Even a coach. Even a president. How do you tell them: ask the young dead soldiers coming home each night in aluminum boxes none of us is allowed to see, an army of shades. You tell the boys "good work" and call it a day, stand alone in fading light while memory's phantoms circle the track like weary athletes running a race without a finish line. (c) by W.D.

It's a very large vehicle. Even if he finds the levers and brakes that will stop it, it won't stop on a dime. Coming to a halt takes time. All we can do is watch and hope. If it starts slowing we know he's trying. But even as it slows it will keep on crushing bodies. And so far it has shown no signs of slowing, so we don't know what Barack is doing in there. It's a juggernaut, it's made to kill! Let's hope he finds the brakes soon.
