K2 V2

K2 V2

sounds
like a breakfast
cereal but

that
a fatal mistake
much suffered
in the making

and me
soaring to the summit
on the blithe
stupidity
of imagination

find myself
reading that confounding
gravity book
about missiles, and rockets
corporate death cults
and
gross turn
ot technology

needing the insanity
of language
to V2 make
its point clear

Oh there we go
something launched
between the lines
dear Thomas
from the edge of this page

solitary single page yet
just one of some
plus seven hundred

the view
so awful
from up here on a great border
where one
might trace
the edge of the world

sink
deep into summit snow
get a handle
on its ending
