The Death of a Ball Turret Gunner
by Randall Jarrell

From my mother's sleep I fell into the State
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

(flak: acronym of the German word FLiegerAbwehrKanone, the antiaircraft shells fired at bombers from the ground during wwii.)

we're in gov't watching star wars!!!! ep iv, startign at the beginning, b/c sophi hasn't seen any star wars at all. or xmen. poor sophi, she's more deprived of usa culture than i am, and that's saying something!!! well, right now i'm on a stargate kick. specifically.... daniel. he is the best character EVER!!!! *puddles* okay, too distracted by the movie to type. bye!!!
