The first decade of the century
tossed embittered stones & spring-melt
cigarette butts at a lonely boy.
The kid pretended they were Army men.
He pretended these toy soldiers
hunted down & killed a villain,
posed for digital pictures with the body
before dumping it from a helicopter
into an unnamed ocean. He pretended
they called it a burial at sea.
He pretended the end of something,
the beginning of something else.
