“Strike on Iraq”


It’s a sunny Sunday morning in Baghdad,
via CNN

No longer from “correspondents at the front”,
there are video-phone imbedments
always ready with the news

The armor will drive through my living room
live, with commentary,
at record speed

The helpless will flow down city streets
like little ships with sails
coursing canyon riverbeds

I could be trapped in some inexplicable dream
but fear that I am not
The unforeseeable was too well planned

Still,
my enigmatic moggy
will faithfully wait for me on the landing
a true black and white existence
in real time


w.g.
