Kevin Powers Quotes
I Was Disappearing. It Was As If I Stripped Myself Away In That Darkened
bedroom On A Spring Afternoon, And When I Was Finished There Would Be A Pile Of
clothes Neatly Folded And I Would Be Another Number For The Cable News Shows. I
could Almost Hear It. "Another Casualty Today," They'd Say, "vanished Into Thin
air After Arriving Home." Fine. I Leaned Down And Finished Unlacing The Boot
and Strung The Dog Tag Back Around My Neck And Let It Lie Against The Other.
Left Boot And Left Sock Off. Pants Off. Underwear Off. I Was Gone.
