Any Man's Death
                          ...any man's death diminishes me,
                          because I am involved in mankind;
                          therefore never send to know for
                          whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
                                                    - John Donne

All soldiers are clones.
Uniforms differ, but the men inside them
are the same.

Exploiting a pause in the machine-guns' chatter,
we harvest bodies from the killing fields.

Shrapnel-shattered, one victim of a bomb
escapes recognition.

Is this body one of ours,
or one of theirs?

Does it matter?
