A cold air fire
Jenson is a name
meaning SON OF JEN
we are architecturally
accelerated it’s
retarded growth
for a full five
quarters in just one
day a report
sharpshooters up
in Misrata
the news is of a man
alone against meddling
in the internal affairs
of any news at all
aside from long
longing shots of planes
launching from carriers
lifting off from those
European airfields
an exercise daily
as tai chi or checkers
and half a pack
of cigarettes
in the pocket
park’s retired comrades,
guards, granny chatter
