Trigger I

(To introduce some sort of form into what I'm doing, I decided to arbitrarily create a rhyme scheme (ABCBADD) and syllabic 'pattern' (5678575) and apply it to 12 poems called 'Trigger'. Don't expect a running theme, although my intention is to start functional and end well. A little bit of self testing, you could say.)

Like a can of worms,
opened to make things worse,
the next photograph taken
was of the highly guarded hearse.
He's not on good terms
with the dead guy's family -
even the Army.
