REVIEW

Ft. Worth
I'm sitting at the bar The Flying Saucer
It's right across from the theater
Having a beer
by myself
A man saddles up a couple chairs away
We sit there and sip
He looks over at me and says, "You were in that show."
Nodding toward Bass Performance Hall
"Yeah."
There is a pause
"It's the first thing I've ever watched about Vietnam since I was there."
Silence
I don't know what to say
Thanks for your service feels...out of place
The moment lingers
"I was there that day," he says
"Helicopter pilot."
I can see in his eyes he's telling the truth
There is hurt there
"Oh," I say
Another pause
"You got it right."
He takes a sip
"You got it right."
Best
