Over?

by Chad Picard   Sep 4, 2008


Over
battler defeated
when his comrade surrenders

was the fight over
before I noticed?
How long then
have I fought alone?

Magazine empty
bayonet dulled
no replacement weapon to be found

but if I had one last round--
how would I use it?

To slay
one of my friends captors?
To slay one I might yet call traitor?
To "prevent" my own capture--

or to restart this scenario once again--
Over?
