POEM FOR ANOTHER DEAD DAYDREAM 
 I moved the broken armature
  To 1914
        The helmets in the bloody mud
     Dysentery figures roamed 
No Mans Land
     The needle fell on the disque 
    Scratching the Bellflower Blues 
    horses in barbed wire mudholes 
        And trepanned soldiers
Crying Screaming
 For Mother
    But the bullets had no name
    No days
       Like today
