<br>
He talks endlessly about "The War"-- <br>
there was only one, you know-- <br> 
the one he fought in;<br> 
all the others were just spats and squabbles.<br>
<br>
He refers to his time "Overseas"<br>
as though it were all one country<br>
from the tip of France to the top of Siberia:<br>
everything outside the continental U.S. being "Them"<br>  
(godless communists and terrorists)<br>
against "Us"<br>
(God's Christian soldiers, defenders of democracy).<br>
<br>
He calls his oncologist "that colored-girl nurse"<br>
Language that would elicit a ten-minute hellfire rant<br>
or a swift kick in the shins<br>
from his spitfire of a niece<br>
if it came from the mouth of anyone else<br>
but she tolerates him, this venomous ancestor;<br>
she has a blind-spot fetish for old men.<br>
<br>
"What color <i>is</i> she, your doctor?" she needles him,<br>
hoping against all evidence to the contrary<br>
that 87 is not too old to learn...<br>
but he grunts and spits into a plastic cup<br>
and beckons her closer to confide his suspicion<br>
that the hospital is run by Jews.<br>
Before she leaves, he will ask her to fetch his wallet<br>
so he can bequeath her a dollar and a warning<br>
about the New World Order.<br>
