No one knew the reason or what | 1 |
or the how or the when and why-not. | 2 |
| |
Children women men took for granted | 3 |
the day would behave like any other | 4 |
until a drone | 5 |
a low-flight bird | 6 |
buzzed over the lazy the young and the old | 7 |
mothers suckling babes at their breasts | 8 |
assaulted by ear from above Central Park | 9 |
to due south where I dashed down subway stairs | 10 |
with a running duck controlling a | 11 |
computer-guided flying device | 12 |
of disproportionate destructive power. | 13 |
| |
What it is | 14 |
grimmaced Grandmother Klein | 15 |
is a terror worse than 7/11 | 16 |
run out of milk and ice. And eggs | 17 |
froze fast in fallopian tubes | 18 |
of women half semened by men they laid | 19 |
as mimes in the park | 20 |
climbed walls of glass | 21 |
which shattered just as | 22 |
the payload commanded | 23 |
the women the men all sucklings dear | 24 |
to bow to the extremely great | 25 |
knock-down power | 26 |
of an extortionate telly poem | 27 |
| |
hangared here to remind | 28 |
that if lofted aloud | 29 |
all who hear it must die. | 30 |
