Lawrence, Not Yet

by David Caplan

I am all of that and so much more.

Like Lawrence of Arabia, I too am an extraordinary man.

But unlike him my war has not yet come.

Or worse perhaps it is out there and I have not the courage to reach out and take it,

to enter it of my own free will as he has...

But rather sit, lying in wait, while it flounders like a worm without a head.

A worm without a head.

Perhaps.
