From Glory for Me by MacKinlay Kantor:
When you come out of war to quiet streets You lug your War along with you. You walk a snail-path. On your back you carry it- A scaly load that makes your shoulders raw; And not a hand can ever lift the shell That cuts your hide. You only wear it yourself– Look up one day, and vaguely see it gone. And one day it is gone if you are wise.
