Army Days

Maxwell Baumbach

he’s
not as strong
as he was
back in his
army days
but
he still stands
as firm as he can
in his state
with his chest puffed out

glaring
from his porch
in his jeans
& plain white shirt
inhaling
every last bit
of his cigarette
before
tossing it
into what was once
a flower pot
where his wife
would grow
lilacs
