Fifty Shades of Cruise Missiles:
The Night of 6 April 2017
The news appears on the glowing telescreen:
“50+ Missiles Aimed at Syria”
The typeface set in a lurid shade of red
With a flashing cartoon police-car light
And because I was walking in the fields at dusk
I am still armed for a war against age
With a walking stick propped inside the door
Proof against nothing but instability
Useless against missiles or poison gas
I had better go to bed with a good book
