I dropped the bomb today; When I fell for the ruse, when I cheered for the demise of my enemy. I dropped the bomb today; When I swallowed the horse pill that made me feel so powerful, when I believed the world could be made right with a little push and shove. How that bomb blew; and I saw all the pieces of my humanity hover over me like a pale and dying rainbow. and the brutality of apes disguised as men read me their broken song. and I knew the chorus. and the bombs they fall, and the candy rots, the pageantry of fiery tears and ravaged dreams, like a ******* upending the sky, this poor little bomb I gave so much attention to, was my poor little hope that destruction was only a momentary lapse, and not a feature of my being.
