Alden Ruml Morning SoldierProud and tall White scoffing at the blue-collared working class
he silently derides calling to the prodigal who stand by his side and extol his every trait
despondent insipid called to duty
pumped up, whipped into a profusion of immutable strength
rich and bold never-swaying complimentary and sweet through only on the surface
ephemeral glory of proud color ostentatious
Marked with distinction popular belief
ushered from his home of austerity into the cold consumed gone
“Double-tall Grande Americano”
