The Truck Driver

During the generous three hour truce,
he drove the U. N. truck

full of medical supplies,
he wasn’t nervous at all,

thought mundane thoughts,
the scent of a woman,

the shape of the sky
against rocky, round, invaded hills,

suddenly two tank shells
ended his life---

apparently the Israelis
are quite anal about what you should think.
