“Pee Wee” Martin

“Pee Wee” Martin

last night

flipping channels

saw a man

jump out

of an airplane

like he did

when he was

young

in wartime

today he’s 99

with his mind

and body intact

but you could tell

in the segment

how his heart

got damaged

a long, long time ago

when he came home

breathing

but his buddies

didn’t
