To Ché
Before Einstein’s Atom Bomba set
Nippon was an ambitious Archipelago
Shooting arrows of sunlit snow angels
Commissioned to bee or not to bee
En Garde!
After Hiroshima und Nagasaki rose
Like Sodom and Gomorrah, Japan
Saw stars: as numerous as metallic dust
Collecting debt beneath our swollen Panda
Sandals.
