Lizards Don’t Talk!

I.

Breathe in…breathe out, ah fuck!

Ok, ok…I’ll be ok…it must be a hundred

twenty-five…why do I, feel so cold.

 

 “You know you shouldn’t have come here,

it was just your politicians sending you on

wild goose chase as you Americans say.”

 

II.

Wait a minute, lizards don’t talk, what the!

Breathe in breathe out, breathe in breathe out,

I got cottonmouth real bad, fuck!

 

 

“Pussy American, I once marched a thousand leagues 

gravely wounded, no food, and I drank my own

blood and urine! Got anymore Jolly Ranchers?”

  

III.

Shut the fuck up Alexander! Dam it! Can’t you see

I’m in pain here, and great conquerors, don’t beg

for candy, and when was the last time you bathed!

                         

I’d give my left nut to be in a one of those seedy

hotel bars in Kabul right now sucking down

a cold Heineken…oh God.

  

IV.

“Sergeant Donnelly, sergeant Donnelly…”

  

Hey, fucking lizard, I never told you my name!

 

“Ok then, let’s give him another bag of Lactated Ringers and

a little something extra to help him get some good sleep, 

he’s been through hell.”

    Tragically awesome!!! I hope there is no PTSD involved... I had a friend who litterally freaked at popping noises, no matter where he was. It was surreal the terror in his eyes as he dove for the floor! Spectacular write...!!!

    Lactated Ringers...

    I haven't thought about that in quite a while, I became quite familiar with it during my combat lifesaver's course on Ft Hood. Wonderful write, very, very surreal. Well done!
