Tha's how it is

That’s How It Is

The sand, in the corner of the lane
where I used to draw battle plans
for Cesar and his generals,
has blown away; and so have they
and their legions.

Recently a roman soldier’s grave
was found, a broken skull, jawbone
and a broken front tooth,
Viva la Mort! A French legionnaire
before shooting his dentist.
