    EPIGRAPH: We could see them through the trellis, From the pit where we sat, Framed, Two boys swapping stickers. The two of us Talking of battlefields and bedrooms, And swapping stickers. And how the faces are now changed, The frames frayed But become something mirror-familiar – Each other's heroes, perhaps. And, even across enemy lines, Brothers, being there. And how paths part, criss-cross Through sanded pits and poppy fields, Then meet again, At a point somewhere solid, Framed, like a medal. At its heart two boys Swapping stickers.

    EPIGRAPH: Haven't had a dream in a long time See, the life I've had Can make a good man bad So for once in my life Let me get what I want Lord knows, it would be the first time Lord knows, it would be the first time
