Intrusive

III
 
he’s
way too quiet
 
and there’s a dog
that knows
why

IV
 
He either saved
or destroyed the country;
nobody is really sure which
 
(or who he is, at least when
he wears someone else’s eyes)
 
but it would be nice to know
for the sake of accurate
record-keeping
 
VI
 
the bullet
came halfway
around the world
to kill him
 
and when they
laid him down
 
the bugler played Taps
in Fibonacci-part
harmony
