Roads re-traveled

They built a new super-highway to my past and to Subic Bay today. I met an old Aeta tribesman at the jungle survival training camp. Still there, he might-could have trained me in 1972; I bought three blowguns from him. I saw the exact place where I watched two friends crash and die on takeoff. Then I saw the quonset hut where I was officer-in-charge of the Beach Det Misfits; a motley, potly crew for sure.

Four hours today
Forty years deep in my bones
Remember them now
