I remember standing there
Dust covered, dust in my teeth,
the smell of heat

That Humvee was fucked
Crippled
Pieces of its body hanging off
like burnt cracking flesh
The P.O.C. said three of his
guys died when it got hit

I was holding the little Mag-light
that belonged to one of
them. I thought about keeping
that charred Mag-light with
holes burnt right through the
whole damn thing.
It could be cool to show people
how fucking crazy this whole
shit was

But I started thinking about
the kid you know
Damn flashlight was probably in
his pocket
Holes right through him too.

The P.O.C. was getting pissed
Said those were good soldiers
in that Humvee and we shouldn't
fuck with the remains.
