Furlough
So, the crazies
Got scared after total wipe-out and their fears,
Which had got plain drunk on hubristic puff,
Regained their force and jumped ship sharpish, but
The past caught them up (like a shot
In the dark or Pinkerton’s chasing down Butch and Sundance in a shotgun shack) and made
These shysters clean latrines
