War footage
Those involuntary models had
An enviable spontaneity. Congratulations!
You have been chosen from this food queue
To be the face of ‘31. Less rivals, too:
Each black and white clip the definitive
something.
Lets see those frozen hands, stagger a bit...
That’s it! That IS Stalingrad.
Backgrounds and props? A dream. Convenient
rubble,
Op art barbed wire. What a catwalk!
This year on the Somme, the well-dressed Tommy
- Stare into the distance, darling,
As if you hear the guns. Stay optimistic!
Since they’re true unknowns, we can believe
The dark eyed child found its parents
Who were not shot or gassed. And the drummer
boy,
All blond haired eagerness, did not become
An unrepentant bigot or teenage corpse
But grew up to be wise and kind instead.
Back to work. Try to look hungry, love,
Imagine you really want the soup and bread.
