Thoughts of a Confederate Pallbearer
You outflanked me a thousand times
But I outlived you
General Sherman.
And after all the meaningless debates on generalship
I find it far more noble
to be able to draw another breath.
So I will dance a little jig
as I carry your coffin
straight
to your resting place.
Confident
You won't outflank me this time.

I read a very exhaustive book on the Indian territories and the incursions and skirmishes under General Sherman. I think this is a brilliant piece, right in the groove as it turns the tables and levels life in a master stroke of irony.
