B MOVIE
B-52
B movie
clock this:
you can shoot down
a drone with
a BB gun
but not with a trillion
dollar missile system
and me
being English, just
a stone’s throw from Cheshire
county of killer
longbow archers
and
able to recite all those great
longwinded band of brothers
speeches given
before Agincourt
and hearing as a child
the great theological debates
as to whether it
was Clapton
or Hendrix who was
the true guitar God
wished upon a star
I had been born
under
Sagittarius
like Milton, or Beethoven,
Dickinson, Blake
or Swift
deadly with words if not
with chords or
forearms
but I do sleep
with a blade
behind my head
a cheap Chinese knock-off
of a sengoku jidai katana
