What’s so funny? I was remembering an Army Barracks day. A day before Boot Camp graduation We get our first set of official orders. Assignments posted on bulletin board. Striking me now so hilarious; How the dumbest among us, Got picked for Intelligence Corps. Amusing the thought that Thugs with lowest class standing All seemed G-2 bound. Jesus, the anchorman, got Fort Meade, Considered The Bigs by talent scouts. Although I was 6 foot-one, In this or that corner Weighing in at one hundred & 95 pounds, My Yerkes scores too high for NSA duty. They sent me to college instead, Doing COINTELPRO field Campus surveillance of Jewish intellectuals, John Birchers and Radical, anti-Castro, Cuban exiles. The University of Miami, Known as “Suntan U” back then. Miami: the eye of the storm in 1972. A Republican Convention in progress. New wine in old wineskins; No thing to write home about.
