PRIVATE SEAN REILLY
|
|
|
Where ? Here or there ? In Ireland ? In Eire ? Yesterday ? Or today ? Private Sean Reilly was on patrol, after midnight. Taking his time, looking, listcning, he heard a shuffle. He walked slowly toward the sound. He saw a shadowdart back into the darkness. He gripped his gun. He stopped. Before him was a young man cowering in a corner. Who’s he ? From where ? Ireland ? Eire ? Yesterday ? Or today ? Here ? Or there ?
The two boys looked, feeling nothing but the pang of their hearts.
Why ? Surely we like the same things. Girls ... A laugh in the Mini. Nights down in Jenny's Club. Why ? |
