This was written while watching "The Mask", a Korean war story movie about a soldier (Paul Newman) who broke under torture and his court martial as well as his relationship to his father (Walter Pidgeon). Forgive the word plays, please. the hand of the pigeon the hand of the pigeon touched the new man as failure flocked upon the scene a father’s failings to the son’s prevailings as discipline deters decision keen both have fallen short, yet both have won neither complementing nor keeping the path on which they’ve traveled free from loud tears or sad weeping meeting at a crossroads not of their own making facing life as life roughly meets to grind them together as both become one in history’s calling as it rapidly flees and the mask of betrayal appalls them each faltered in weakness, beyond their reach |

AAB & Caliban, thanks for your gracious and kind remarks (if you do get to watch the movie...highly recommended, the poem comes from the cab scene) -- it's in b&w |
