Day 43 PISC -1967 – Tanka 44

“Going ‘Unk'”

I’ve missed Sharpshooter

but managed a ‘Toilet Seat.’

Bunkie does not ‘qual.’

Years later in Vietnam I

I find him in Force Recon

Day 33(3) PISC – 1967

“Serving My Time In The Barrel”

Ed Spoon comes

with supper and shines my boots

because I took his test?

Day 33(2) PISC – 1967

“The Justice Of It All”

Twice in two days?

I ‘safed’ the damn ’14’ right,

just not Boot Camp Way!

Day 33 PISC – 1967 – Tanka 27

“Unit Punishment”

I’m not the only

upfuck: seeing out ‘toon rag

furled as we watched

on our bellies in ‘low crawl’

through the sandspurs really hurt.

Day 32(3) PISC – 1967

“Restriction(2)”

‘Bulldog’ brings me chow

and other ‘non-readers’

keep my chores caught up.

Day 32(2) PISC – 1967 – Tanka 24

“Restriction”

I’m restricted to

“my rack” since my rifle coach

got ‘a week on-base’

when my rifle is ‘unsafe.’

They exercise while I watch.

Day 32 PISC – 1967

“Ground Week”

Arcane, aching and

always after being shown:

shooting postures suck!

Day 31(4) PISC – 1967

“Some One To Watch Over Me – And So It Begins”

Two-hundred Inch Line

cooking with a twenty-two

my whole world crumbles!

not once, but thrice I run ‘foul

during ‘Grass Week!’ Smell a rat?

Day 31 PISC – 1967

“To The Rifle Range”

Packing a seabag

and fixing field transport packs

‘foreplay’ to ‘The Range!’
