That
Chinese Spy Balloon
“Number Six is dead. Rover got him.”
-Patrick McGoohan’s The Prisoner
A spy balloon lurks over Montana
And nobody seems to know what to
do
Against the intruder Top Guns launch
themselves
But only circle around it
piteously
They slink away, intimidated by a
balloon
That takes its pictures and
samples with insolence
Unmenaced by our Merovingian
regime
Generals bemedaled like Russian
doormen
Our leaders stumble over each
other’s gaffes
While in Shanghai the Politburo laughs
