and so you sit there looking out over turkey and the sun starts going down and the shadows of the marines humping the stores , your stores , out of the 53 and into a 46 stretch out toward your feet , stretched out and feeling good and the captain goes back into the tent and comes out with a tray with a bunch of little cups and you all take one and drink this wicked hot really good coffee and then the captain looks at his watch and says five four three two one and then hes off duty and he goes back into the tent and comes out with a tray with a bunch of little glasses on it and you all take one and drink down this wicked hot liquor than trickles down your throat and into your stomach and you are feeling pretty damn good and then you all have another round and then later the gunney comes for you and you follow him through the dark , through the turkish dark to a tent where theres a cot and you lie down and pull your blanket out and pull it up around your shoulders and lay back into the soft canvas and look up at the tent overhead .
