Camouflage

The colonel dwelt in a vortex of specialists who were still specializing in trying to determine what was troubling him. They hurled lights in his eyes to see if he could see, rammed needles into nerves to hear if he could feel. There was a urologist for his urine, a lymphologist for his lymph, an endocrinologist for his endocrines, a psychologist for his psyche, a dermatologist for his derma; there was a pathologist for his pathos, and cystologist for his cysts. … The colonel had really been investigated. There was not an organ of his body that had not been drugged and derogated, dusted and dredged, fingered and photographed, removed, plundered, and replaced. -- Catch-22

astig sila sa pelikula, yung aksyon na, madrama pa;
lahat gagawin para sa Inang Bayang at madla
namatay ang ka-buddy, naputulan ng paa
inuwing nakakahon, bayani nang ibinaon
dalawampu't isang putok sa malungkot na hapon
kalahati sa hukay, kalahating bangkay
hindi kailangan ng damdamin sa oras ng pagsalakay
mabaliw-baliw sa kimkim na takot
na hininga'y sa malaon, magkalagot-lagot
namimiss ang pamilyang iniwan sa Maynila
sa pinilakang tabing sila'y bayani't dakila

bagama't sa katunayan, sukat di mapagkaila,
kalahating totoo, kalahating himala
iyong itinatambad ng maaksyong pelikula
bagama't sa katunayan, sukat di mapagkaila,
sila'y papet na, kasangkapan pa
ng bulok, ganid, baluktot na sistema.
