Mental Problems
William Lee 1999
The words "Deployed to Israel" coarse my ears,
My head in a void, I can not figure out a way to process this,
I forget the address, I must ask,
I bask in the thoughts, "What happens if they are killed?"
I try to connect some dots, to no avail
Surely they will only be in minor scale, right?
Purely terrified, I walk to work, not thinking straight
I zone out, my mind blown
Am I alone?
