A Tension
by Glenn CurrierAre our most crucial battles
on Baghdad's streets
and the alleys of Tikrit?
Or in our offices,
kitchens and cafes
where we fight
our coworkers, family, and friends
to reposition their ears
to receive incoming volleys
from the embattlements
of our closed minds
and open mouths? 04/19/2005 Posted on 04/19/2005
