The War Years

PART I

Chiến tranh Việt Nam

sometimes you have to write

all the good stuff when you're young

because part of you knows

you won't be around to do it later on

that's one reason 

i've held back for so long

i don't want to go anywhere

new right now

PART II

the american war

Life begins to happen 

around 40,

for instance

the presidential race

lasted most of the weekend

and the winners and I

celebrated our

victory aboard the

USS enterprise

the whole crew was in attendance

lt. uhura handing out the "punch cards"

unable to approach her i left before the police showed up

captain kirk

struggling with

depression

in sick bay

his daughter elezra

by his side

weeping

the ship speeding

through endless space 

inside the paramount pictures movie building 

the useless lights of the ship's control system

blurred and blinking in the background
