"If a trip to Mars you earn, remember friend, there's no return."
(Burma-Shave jingle)
A good question
you really want
a different life
a pound of leaves
a pound of bunnies
forget the showers
if a trip to Mars
is what you want
there's no return
the lie starts at dawn
the sun is falling
half a field away
everything arranged
tested near to death
forget the answers
there's no return
we leave in a hurry
and strewn behind
the smoking trees
the bodies I don’t know
what it was to know
ANZAC Day 2017
'the lie starts at dawn', yes.
