Neca Stoller

School of the Americas - Fort Benning, GA

Well, this is almost what it was like.
Under a jungle cross, they release
hands and move forward. Don't run,
nuns and priest rarely run,
unless for their lives,
but steadily move
into the army green line.
Each replay, they're caught
and walked off into dust.
