Smoking Fucking Junk
Appeared in the Summer 2004 issue.
Phil flew medical
evac choppers for
a year
in
NAM. & three times enemy fire
brought him down
crashing
to
the ground.
but he gets such a laugh
out of it today
such a roaring head back mouth wide open
laugh
every time he
explains how these
beautiful
monster machines became
6 million dollar piles of
smoking fucking junk.
he laughs, he says,
because the government lost all
that money but we
know he laughs because he cheated
death & because
the damn things were empty
