Garbage

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

I see the arm

under the door
of the Humvee

the fingers still grasp
and grab
for things
never known

I see the rest of her

across the street

[uppityperson]

1. wow

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

20. I'm not dead yet! n/t

[TomInTib]

2. Where the hell did that come from? You?

I have seen that picture before, pre-Humvee.

That one hit pretty close to the house.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

[TomInTib]

3. Whoa

That's powerful. Brutal and honest. It stopped me in my tracks for about 5 minutes.

Did you write that?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

5. Guilty again.

[Redstone]

6. That's pretty fucking morbid, if you don't mind me saying so.

15. Wait right there while I change computers, so I can tell you wnat war is.

Dont' go waay.

Redsne

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. I'll hang.

In one way or another, I'm sure.

peace.

[TomInTib]

10. Morbid? maybe, Redstone. But that's the way it goes down.

I have pictures like that.

And I cannot get rid of them.

They sleep around my campfire and they whimper in my ear.

[knowbody0]

14. im so sorry

[TomInTib]

18. Do not be sorry for me. I am still here.

Save your sorrow for the ones who will never glory in another sunset. Or wedding, or childbirth, or love, or any fucking thing at all.

But thank you, anyway.

Tom

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

19. Hang in with us, Tom.

We're here for a reason.

[TomInTib]

21. Oh, I am here to stay.

Like your drunken uncle at Christmas.

They kinda wish I wasn't there.

But what would the whole fucking thing be without me?

I plan on hanging around.

Hell, it's just too much fun.

It'll have to give up on me.

Sure am glad the night is sighing and we are the only ones to read this treacly stuff.

[NMMNG]

22. That's pretty graphic

And sad. I farking hate this war. :grr:
