The Shoebox - Day 22

F-15 Dual-Role Eagle
Desert Storm (Series 2)
#117, Topps, 1991

An eagle can be two things: fragile
airframe and hunting bow, compost
diver and spy satellite, medicine robe
and all-I-got-was-this-lousy-shirt
shirt. An eagle should
be two things, since three is
gauche with meaning and magic,
and one is too few to trust
around stupid American hearts.
Two is good enough for war.
