One in Charge

Losing yourself is finding yourself,

After ten minutes, going through

Each room for the hairbrush you

Have now passed twice, that you

Started by looking for but

Really, you have lost something else

(Joy; a hand to hold)

And the hairbrush is only a time killing

Dispatch. The body, which

Should be making love or music,

Has been drafted, and most of the time

Is following orders from the one in charge

(who knows that it’s harder to be free, than to sweep).

Meanwhile, the Corporal goes to the back

To smoke a cigar and put his feet up.

Meanwhile, there is

A war going on.
