NaPoWriMo, Day Twenty-Nine, Poem Twenty-Four


Overhead

My friend
unspoken to
since Christmas
may be
overseas
right now
part of a
hundred
ballistic
ballet
named so
by a leader
who's never
seen ballet
calls it
Operation
Nutcracker
strapping
each man
to a missile
allowed
to ride
cowboy style
just like
in a movie
they haven't seen
half landing
in the ocean
the other half
to North Korea
and all
coming back
in Gallup polls
six months later
to say they
would go again
