Thanks for both your comments. Before I get to them, some truth in advertising: this is a cut-up of the Star Spangled Banner and eyewitness accounts (probably as reported in newspapers). I did cut-ups for about 3 years, with the occaisonal happy result such as this. Certainly I spent as much time editing them as I do my poems now.
Duke, I'm post-Vietnam, so I admit to the cynicism, but I was raised to view the Civil War as somewhat sacred, so rules of cynicism never seem to take effect with that war for me.
Mark, thanks for desrciption of your visit. I was taken on a tour of battlefields when I was 12, but was way too young to appreciate it.
