and then you hear the thud , thud , thud of rifles and you sit up into the dark and look out the tent flaps and over the town you see tracers arcing up into the sky and the gunney is there next to you and he says real soft its just the ppk shooting up the town and you nod even though you dont know what the hell he is talking about and then you lay your head down in the cot in the tent in turkey and you can still see over the edge of your cheek the bullets flying up into the air and coming down you dont know where and then you are asleep .
