all day
i get phone calls about
Camp Lejeune.
was i ever there,
was anyone in my family
ever there.
has anyone died or become
sick from drinking
the water there.
i tell them my name
is General George Patton,
and yes.
i've got a bad cough
and my hair has fallen
out on
account of the toxic
water.
i'm sipping a canteen
of it right now.
i think my lungs are
falling apart and my knees
ache.
i'm transferred to a lawyer
named Jimmy,
who wants to take my case.
