Things Get Fuzzy
when the bogeyman might be anywhere.
We can't just bomb Berlin or Dresden,
Nagasaki or Hanoi, to make things safe
for that democracy we love.
The enemy's no longer
conveniently geographic. We
must carpet bomb the world
to kill the source of all our fear today.
Which is to say everyone, everywhere.

Amen. *
