BALLOON

BALLOON

you shot
down a balloon

you shot down
a star
      went
supernova

took all
  you had
shot down
to
  Area 51
Studio 54

you shoot everything
down that
        strays into
your backyard

just now
    I felt
gated, hemmed in,
surveyed and
controlled

am getting
pretty nervous
about that
    trigger finger

seem to
    have got yourself
an impossible
totally spacious
                    fully inter-
continental
      marshaling back
                            yard
