Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile
Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile
An intermediate-range ballistic missile fell on my house yesterday
It interrupted my eating breakfast
And – for God's sake! – broke my favourite mug
Spilling the tea all over the floor
In the other room my sister was sound asleep
Dreaming about that dog our mother promised to get her for Christmas
She was going to name it Caramel
But she never woke up
She never woke up
And I didn't wake up either
Only the tea dried up
Among my favourite mug's shards
It did happen
Not to me, maybe
Nor to my sister I have never had
Nor to my house that stands still
But to someone
In one or another part of the globe
It did happen
Just yesterday

“AM could not wander, AM could not wonder, AM could not belong. He could merely be. And so, with the innate loathing that all machines had always held for the weak, soft creatures who had built them, he had sought revenge.”
