A cat with a bone does not
mindlessly gnaw; he masticates.
A bone can be a mastiff,
a mascot, a masquerade. A bone
outside the body might be lonelier
than God, that gelded erection.
If so, salute! In the life of a soldier
there are many companions, but
no one so intimate
as the enemy. Your heart has
a special way it catches
just for him. Bulldozing
his burial ground shows
your undying passion.
Whose bone is it now?
