3350. SERGEANT BIMINOFF

SERGEANT BIMINOFF
(my blue Pennington model)
'I can't find nothing to write home about
and don't have a thing to say : bluebird
redbird robin chirping from the tree. Can
I look around you, to see what you do see?
That cultural oasis you inhabit, it's blinding.
-
The funny guy with the trumpet is blowing
a taps  -  he wants the girl in red to go
upstairs with him, but she won't. We all
laugh, lugubriously slowly and loud. It's
almost a truly sad scene  -  these military
guys, always so horny, get really 
hard-up for sex.
-
I wished once for always more than
I got. She was bashful and baleful and
a beauty. Long ago, anyway -  that
was all disappeared, and now I remember
nothing but her name. Amy. Amanda.
Or something.'
