Subject: Smart as a rock(et)
(spontanious composition)
(yet another fifty word poem)

"deft new weapon against Iraq"
a concrete bomb,
a concrete smart bomb
they removed the explosives

filled the shells with stones
filled the shells with sticks
filled the shells with bones
filled the shells with words

packed the planes with laser
guided language games
all the pilots are pacifist poets
