Settings

barrack style housing on route from shopping
living quarters for active duty personnel
ghost town aspect.
Where have all the sailors gone?

a child by a window
looking at the traffic whizzing by
scrawny white neath crooked blinds
Where have all the soldiers gone?

in an instant, a squid in vision
squirming in aquarium tank
where's his mother in the kitchen
When's his father shipping back?

scrawny housing by the road
the kid a window climbs
what's the relationship if there is any?
are there connections in verses that abstract?
