The Great Big Russian Doomsday Submarine
As with Leviathan or Moby
Dick
Or Captain Nemo’s Nautilus,
perhaps
The Belgorod haunts
the darkness of the seas
And it haunts our minds,
our darkest fears
We scorn shabby Russian
gimcrackery
The wreckage of tanks, the
ashes of men
Whose feeble aircraft
flame down from the sky
But this thing – it needs
to work only once
What if it’s real, so very
real
That we don’t finish…
